Horrifying Errors,
By MQu (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Primer of Biostatistics: Sixth Edition (Primer of Biostatistics (Glantz)(Paperback)) (Paperback)
Unfortunately, this book is filled with typos and mathematical errors, including the solutions section. A maths book clearly fails by letting its readers down and results in significant time loss when any errors exist in the solutions section, believe me. Some are even as basic as addition and subtraction errors in formulating solutions tables. The errors are otherwise just about acceptable in the standard text.
Whilst it reads well in parts, its strengths come from the examples provided, which relate to real life clinical trials and data. However, despite my relatively decent mathematical background, derivations sometimes suddenly lead to a formula or solution out of the blue. The text unfortunately does so in parts too leaving out the systematic approach to the explanation. I guess you can't have both a true mathematical guide with such clinical emphasis, but for me, the typos just destroy it. Without these irritating errors, the strengths of the book really would have been something to rate this book highly for. Seriously beware. Needs to be pulled of bookshelves in this current state. Sorry.

Excellent,
This review is from: Primer of Biostatistics: Sixth Edition (Primer of Biostatistics (Glantz)(Paperback)) (Paperback)
This is a great book. I went from knowing very little about statistics to being able to understand the statistics of research papers very quickly. I have seen a lot of complaints about errors, but I have not found many in the newest edition and printing that Amazon is currently selling.

FILLED WITH ERRORS!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Primer of Biostatistics: Sixth Edition (Primer of Biostatistics (Glantz)(Paperback)) (Paperback)
It didn't take me long to figure out that this book is chock-full of errors. Almost every calculation appeared to be incorrect. Even simple addition and subtraction errors. Interpolation - forget about it. How can this be? This is totally unacceptable. I wish I had read some reviews before buying, although how there are several reviews here with a high rating is completely beyond me. Buy something else. Seriously.
