Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The emphasis of the book is firmly on the use of statistics in medical practice. Statistical jargon is explained clearly, and without any mathematical theory. Any doctor who wishes to publish an article will need to be familiar with these basic statistical methods. This book deserves to be widely read, and it can be highly recommended to all readers of the medical literature.
