Statistical Methods in Epidemiology Reviews

does a good job of summarizing the various statistical methods used for analysing epidemiological studies ... There is much statistical information which is useful and attractively written, making it a useful reference text. * Neil Pearce, International Journal of Epidemiology, Vol.19, No.4, 1990 *
Very useful, because it summarizes many of the essentials of epidemiological statistics that were previously described only in journal articles or more mathematical texts.
