Statistical and Methodological Aspects of Oral Health
Research provides oral health researchers with an overview of
the methodological aspects that are important in planning,
conducting and analyzing their research projects whilst also
providing biostatisticians with an idea of the statistical problems
that arise when tackling oral health research questions.
This collection presents critical reflections on oral health
research and offers advice on practical aspects of setting up
research whilst introducing the reader to basic as well as advanced
statistical methodology.
Features:
* An introduction to research methodology and an exposition of
the state of the art.
* A variety of examples from oral health research.
* Contributions from well-known oral health researchers,
epidemiologists and biostatisticians, all of whom have rich
experience in this area.
* Recent developments in statistical methodology prompted by a
variety of dental applications.
Presenting both an introduction to research methodology and an
exposition of the latest advances in oral health research, this
book will appeal both beginning and experienced oral health
researchers as well as biostatisticians and epidemiologists.
