Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n The explanation and implementation of statistical methods for the medical researcher or statistician remains an integral part of modern medical research. This book explains the use of experimental and analytical biostatistics systems. Its accessible style allows it to be used by the non-mathematician as a fundamental component of successful research. \u003cp\u003eSince the third edition, there have been many developments in statistical techniques. The fourth edition provides the medical statistician with an accessible guide to these techniques and to reflect the extent of their usage in medical research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new edition takes a much more comprehensive approach to its subject. There has been a radical reorganization of the text to improve the continuity and cohesion of the presentation and to extend the scope by covering many new ideas now being introduced into the analysis of medical research data. The authors have tried to maintain the modest level of mathematical exposition that characterized the earlier editions, essentially confining the mathematics to the statement of algebraic formulae rather than pursuing mathematical proofs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReceived the Highly Commended Certificate in the Public Health Category of the 2002 BMA Books Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   On the fourth edition:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e'...this breakthrough revision of a classic...is truly excellent: comprehensive, informative, able to be read at a variety of levels by a variety of readers, modern and insightful.'\u003cbr\u003e Statistics in Medicine, Volume 22, 2003\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'...this is a volume which could usefully, and perhaps should, be read from cover to cover by anyone embarking on the study of medical statistics.
