This review is from: Case Studies in Biometry (Paperback)
These well known editors have compiled a collection of 21 case studies written by very accomplished statisticians and biostatisticians. It covers many different topics and provides insights and examples to learn from.
It is divided into six topical areas. The first three papers deal with environmental hazards. The next five are characterized as being in forestry, fisheries or genetics. Part three consists of three articles in the category of habitat and animal studies. Part 4 deals with health care and public policy and includes two articles. Part 5 is four articles on clinical trials. Part 6 contains the remaining four articles that deal with epidemiology and toxicology. Most chapters have multiple authors. There are 53 authors covering the 21 articles. Many well known statisticians are contributors. The book also includes a data disk with examples from the case studies.
