Statistical Evidence in Medical Trials Bewertungen

Clearly this book is not 'just another statistics book.' Rather, it borders on the side of being revolutional - a statistics book without numbers! While this might be considered near sacrilege in the world of pure statistics, for the purposes of inciting balanced, practical, evidence-based clinical decision-making, it is nearly a 5-star resource. The tasteful humour injected throughout the text is just the perfect spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down. * Evidence-Based Medicine *
A refreshing change from other texts where the discussion of the satistical analyses stops at the p-value. A useful addition to their library and i will certainly recommend it nest time I'm asked'what does it all mean?' * caroline Sablin, HIV Clinical Trials Journal *
This book provides an excellent way into assessment of the medical literature and covers the topics that should be covered ... eminently readable. * Short Book Reviews, International Statistical Institute *
