Biostatistics for Practitioners: An Interpretative Guide for Medicine and Biology

Deals with several aspects of statistics that are indispensable for researchers and students across the biomedical sciences. The book features a step-by-step approach, focusing on standard statistical tests, as well as discussions of the most common errors. The book is based on the author's 40+ years of teaching statistics to medical fellows and biomedical researchers across a wide range of fields.

Discusses how to use the standard statistical tests in the biomedical field, as well as how to make statistical inferences (t test, ANOVA, regression etc.)

Additional Tests

Includes non-standard tests, including equivalence or non-inferiority testing, extreme value statistics, cross-over tests, and simple time series procedures such as the runs test and Cusums.
