Product Description

This updated volume continues its straightforward, authoritative review of basic statistical methods for clinical trials. Even though numerous books have appeared on the subject matter, very few of them, except for this title, emphasize accessible coverage of statistical methods -- the crucial building blocks of medical research. The author's hands-on approach, embracing a number of different trial designs and clinical fields, guides readers through the process of planning an experiment, putting together a study cohort, assessing data, and reporting results, and addresses the problems that are likely to confront any such study. Paramount throughout is the effort to strike a common ground between qualitative clinical and rigorous statistical methods.
