A propos du livre

Revue de presse

As an introductory text, it covers a great deal of ground in concise fashion and makes reference to the majority of statistical methods that are likely to be encountered. It is a considerable challenge to cover such a large number of topics in a book of this size... the author has succeeded. (Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 2003)

This is a useful little book for the shelf, and you will soon find yourself thumbing through it. (Bandolier)

An excellent introduction to the dark art of statistical analysis and also a very good 'jargon-buster'. Unlike many textbooks on statistics, this book avoids the use of mathematical equations, and so it is a very useful means of introducing non-mathematical people to the ideas behind common statistical processes. (Current Medical Research Opinion)

This is a sound textbook which provides a comprehensive overview of medical statistics... (Dr Avril Drummond, British Journal of Occupational Therapy, July 2003 66 (7))

This book is short, clear and competently written and should be of great value not only to people engaged in research, but for everyone who wants to check for themselves whether what technical paper asserts in its conclusions is justified by the work that was done. (Derek Steinberg, Psychiatrist, The British Holistic Medical Association)

The book is of great practical value for any geriatrician or gerontologist who has to test hypotheses, assessing therapeutic advances, and who evaluates the validity of collected data. The author's aim to write a practical guide concerning basic concepts of medical statistics is outstandingly achieved. (Gerontology, 2004)
