Synopsis

An observational study is an empirical investigation of the effects of treatments, policies or exposures. It differs from an experiment in that the investigator cannot control the assignment of treatments to subjects. Scientists across a wide range of disciplines undertake such studies.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A sound statistical account of the principles and methods for the design and analysis of observational studies. Readers are assumed to have a working knowledge of basic probability and statistics, but otherwise the account is reasonably self- contained. Throughout there are extended discussions of actual observational studies to illustrate the ideas discussed, drawn from topics as diverse as smoking and lung cancer, lead in children, nuclear weapons testing, and placement programs for students. As a result, many researchers will find this an invaluable companion in their work.
