Applied Biostatistics for the Health Sciences Summary

Applied Biostatistics for the Health Sciences by Richard J. Rossi

Biostatistics is quickly becoming one of the most important areas of statistics due to the tremendous increase in health care needs. This book successfully introduces the terminology, concepts, and correct uses and interpretation of biostatistics. It is ideal for practitioners as well as students going into health care fields. Pedagogical features include formulas highlighted in text boxes and chapter summaries that highlight key vocabulary and concepts for the chapter. An accompanying Web site provides both MINITAB(r) and Microsoft(r) Office Excel(r) data files data for the case studies and exercises that are contained in the text.
