Principles and Applications of Biostatistics [EPUB ebook] 

Principles and Applications of Biostatistics covers the primary concepts and methods that are required for a fundamental understanding of the use and interpretation of statistics for the biological and health sciences-from data presentation to multiple regression and analysis of variance. With a focus clarity, brevity, and accuracy, this text provides understandable and focused explanation of statistical principles and applications along with practical examples (provided in R and Microsoft Excel) and problems drawn from biological health and medical settings. Key Features: * Practical questions follow each problem to encourage students to consider why the problem likely exists, help formulate hypotheses, and then statistically assess those hypotheses. * Abundant assignment problems at the end of sections and each chapter cover a variety of application areas of biostatistics. * Rationale boxes offer explanations of why certain methods are used for specific cases.
