Book excerpt: Health and Numbers Basic Biostatistical Methods Chap T. Le and James R. Boen Today, all professionals and students in medical and allied health fields need a working knowledge of the methods for statistical analysis. Unfortunately, the dry language and complex formulas of most statistics texts can be intimidating for those who are not mathematical specialists. Health and Numbers attempts to rectify that dilemma by providing a practical introduction to the statistical methods used in medical and health care settings. Unlike other texts, this book features a lively, user-friendly style that makes the material accessible to all readers—regardless of inexperience with biostatistics, or even acute "math phobia." Additionally, every principle discussed in the text is illustrated with concrete examples that vividly demonstrate how the principle operates and how it applies to everyday health care issues. This book provides practical, nontechnical explanations of such essential concepts as: Proportions, rates, and ratios Continuous measurements Probability and probability models Confidence estimation Hypothesis testing Data plots and diagrams Health and Numbers: Basic Biostatistical Methods is an ideal introduction to this field for anyone involved in the medical support or allied health fields. Students in such areas as nursing, pharmacy, or public health education will find this book a most welcome alternative to oppressively complex, math-oriented texts.

This book was released on 2011-07-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic biostatistics, a branch of statistical science, has as its main focus the applications of statistics in public health, the life sciences, and the pharmaceutical industry. Modern biostatistics, beyond just a simple application of statistics, is a confluence of statistics and knowledge of multiple intertwined fields. The application demands, the advancements in computer technology, and the rapid growth of life science data (e.g., genomics data) have promoted the formation of modern biostatistics. There are at least three characteristics of modern biostatistics: (1) in-depth engagement in the application fields that require penetration of knowledge across several fields, (2) high-level complexity of data because they are longitudinal, incomplete, or latent because they are heterogeneous due to a mixture of data or experiment types, because of high-dimensionality, which may make meaningful reduction impossible, or because of extremely small or large size; and (3) dynamics, the speed of development in methodology and analyses, has to match the fast growth of data with a constantly changing face. This book is written for researchers, biostatisticians/statisticians, and scientists who are interested in quantitative analyses. The goal is to introduce modern methods in biostatistics and help researchers and students quickly grasp key concepts and methods. Many methods can solve the same problem and many problems can be solved by the same method, which becomes apparent when those topics are discussed in this single volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biostatistics course is often found in the schools of public Health, medical schools, and, occasionally, in statistics and biology departments. The population of students in these courses is a diverse one, with varying preparedness. Introduction to Biostatistics assumes the reader has at least two years of high school algebra, but no previous exposure to statistics is required. Written for individuals who might be fearful of mathematics, this book minimizes the technical difficulties and emphasizes the importance of statistics in scientific investigation. An understanding of underlying design and analysis is stressed. The limitations of the research, design and analytical techniques are discussed, allowing the reader to accurately interpret results. Real data, both processed and raw, are used extensively in examples and exercises. Statistical computing packages - MINITAB, SAS and Stata - are integrated. The use of the computer and software allows a sharper focus on the concepts, letting the computer do the necessary number-crunching. - Emphasizes underlying statistical concepts more than competing texts - Focuses on experimental design and analysis, at an elementary level - Includes an introduction to linear correlation and regression - Statistics are central: probability is downplayed - Presents life tables and survival analysis - Appendix with solutions to many exercises - Special instructor's manual with solution to all exercises
