Description

This successful text offers comprehensive coverage of statistics with applications to the medical and public health fields. The book will appeal to advanced undergraduates or graduate students in need of a reference book on methodology but requires a reasonable proficiency in algebra. The focus of Biostatistics is an intuitive understanding of principles rather than mathematical sophistication. The previous edition of this book was published in 1987.
