Synopsis

Book by Matthews J N S

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This is a very useful introduction to clinical trials. (Biometrics)

The textbook seems to be a good supply for undergraduate or master students in the medical or statistics sciences and gives researchers a good introduction into the field of randomized controlled clinical trials. (Zentralblatt MATH)

...invaluable as a handy (and inexpensive) reminder of the basics for the experienced statistician. Junior statisticians who have absorbed its contents will be ready to start provision of competent technical support for clinical trials, whether within the pharmaceutical industry or in academic environments. (Transactions)

The target audience includes undergraduate and postgraduate students of statistics, as well as applied statisticians working in industry, government or research organizations. Overall, this is a well written book. (Statistics in Medicine, Vol 20)

I found much wisdom in this book about the role and value of statistical methods in randomized controlled trials. Likewise regarding their influence on decisions based on trial evidence- in particular, that this is more limited than the anticipated readership might believe. (International Journal of Epidemiology)

...well written and easy to read. (Short Book Reviews (International Statistical Inst)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Clinical trials are one of the most important and influential areas of modern applied statistics. Introduction to Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials introduces students to the basics of trial design and relevant methods of analysis. Clinical trials are an expanding area of employment and many more undergraduates need to know the skills relevant to this field. Accordingly, the author has used medical examples from the literature to ensure a real-world approach to the subject.

Written by an experienced lecturer, Introduction to Randomised Clinical Control Trials is a student-friendly book based on John Matthews' first hand experience of teaching clinical trials to bewildered students of mathematics and statistics. He has used medical examples to ensure that the learning is as realistic as possible and one of the strengths of his book is his deliberate reliance on mathematical arguments. This is the first book to introduce clinical trials to students at this level and is essential for all undergraduates taking statistics or medical statistics.
