This review is from: Biostatistics, Second Edition: A Guide to Design, Analysis and Discovery. (Hardcover)
The book is expensive and it ain't worth that amount of money. Topics explanation is tedious and some exercises don't make sense as in Ex 4.4 in page 100. The book didn't include the key answers for all the problems. Also, the examples in the book are in need for more reviewing by the author, sometimes the text refers to a table and the referred number is not correct. My be the book is updated but there is still mistakes in referring to tables number. I would recommend adding more examples with more easier and detailed explanation to cover a wide range of idea before practicing solving exercises. Overall I think the book is expensive and doesn't worth that much.
