I have used the 2nd edition but the 3rd edition
is superior. The 3rd edtion has a complete
medical glossary, classical mathematIcal examples
are transfered from the 2nd edition, and at the
end of each chapter, there is a short test on the
material. No question, there are areas where
the authors, or publishers, could have been
clearer but overall, most readers will
benefit from the examples. Readers in Biostatistics and Epidemiology know these
subjects can be difficult to write about, but
I found this edition reader friendly.Is it perfect? No, but for the intermediate reader,
it fufills the need to master complex subjects.
One of the sources for this book is the
"Basic and Clinical Biostatistics", 4th, edition,
2004, Dawson, B., etc. This book received
mixed reviews from readers. I think most
readers will be satisfied with Jekel's book.A
major advantage to this text is the clear explanations of major subjects like sensitivity,
specificity, and odds ratios. Readers will be
deighted with this clear writing.

This is for one of my class-thank you for gettin to me really quickly. Awesome book thank you -I have not yet use the book

This is a great text book at a great price. I am very pleased with this purchase, as I love books that I can feel, touch, and skim through, rather than E-books. I know they are the "new" way of learning books, but I like to hold my actual book in my hand. Received in phenominal condition, at a great price, and in quick time. Thank You, Sincerely, Skie A.

the book doesn't give precise definitions on most of the terms. Should give definition before giving examples to explain for that definitions. Not so great.
