Synopsis

This new edition has been improved in three important areas: several large data sets have been included; much of the discussion appearing in the first three editions has been expanded, revised and further clarified; additional student exercises and been incorporated. The emphasis continues to be on an intuitive understanding of principles rather than an understanding based on mathematical sophistication. Since the publication of the first edition, the widespread use of micrcomputers has had a tremendous impact on the teaching of statistics, consequently this edition contains a greater emphasis on computer applications.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Develop the statistical tools needed in the allied health fields  

Anyone entering the allied health field needs to have a working understanding of how data can be turned into useful information. Now in its ninth edition, Wayne W. Daniel s Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences provides a comprehensive introduction to biostatistics as it is used in the biological sciences.

Designed for the undergraduate and graduate student across a range of fields, from the health disciplines to forestry and animal husbandry, the text takes an applied and computer–oriented approach to its topical coverage. Its chapters take you from the basic concepts of probability through hypothesis testing, linear regression and correlation, the analysis of variance, chi–square distribution, nonparametric and distribution–free statistics, and more.

This new edition adds much new and expanded material, including such features as:

• Integration of new applications from several biological science fields throughout the pages
• Highlighting of main ideas with bulleted objectives at the start of each chapter
• Summary boxes of formulae and statistical rules for easy reference and review
• Support for multiple programs such as SPSS, SAS, and STATA, in addition to Minitab
• Screen captures and technology boxes with step–by–step help
• Real–world practice through examples and exercises using data from actual research projects and reports

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book is intended for a one or two semester course in Biostatistics at the undergraduate or graduate level offered by departments of Biostatistics, Statistics, Mathematics, Nursing and other Allied Health disciplines, occasionally of Forestry or Animal Husbandry. Nearly all the examples and exercises make use of real data from actual research projects and reports from health sciences literature. Where appropriate, Minitab, SPSS and SAS commands and printouts are included as part of the examples and solutions to exercises.
