Since the publication of the first edition, Biostatistics and Epidemiology has attracted loyal readers from across specialty areas in the biomedical community. Not only does this textbook teach foundations of epidemiological design and statistical methods, but it also includes topics applicable to new areas of research. Areas covered in the fourth edition include a new chapter on risk prediction, risk reclassification and evaluation of biomarkers, new material on propensity analyses, and a vastly expanded chapter on genetic epidemiology, which is particularly relevant to those who wish to understand the epidemiological and statistical aspects of scientific articles in this rapidly advancing field. Biostatistics and Epidemiology was written to be accessible for readers without backgrounds in mathematics. It provides clear explanations of underlying principles, as well as practical guidelines of "how to do it" and "how to interpret it." Key features include a philosophical explanation of the logic of science, subsections that can stand alone or serve as reference, cross-referencing, recommended reading, and appendices covering sample calculations for various statistics in the text. -- Epidemiology Statistical methods. 28596 Clinical trials Statistical methods. 28597 Biostatistics methods. 28598 Biometry. 28599 Epidemiology. 28600 Clinical trials Statistical methods. fast 28597 Epidemiology Statistical methods. fast 28596 Smoller, Jordan W., 1961- author. 28601 Contributor biographical information https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1617/2014952775-b.html Publisher description https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1617/2014952775-d.html Table of contents only https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1617/2014952775-t.html 7 cbc copycat 2 epcn 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK RA652.2.M3 RA652.2.M3 .W37 9873 9873 0 0 lcc 0 0 ZEM ZEM GEN 2025-09-30 Donations 11511 0 RA652.2.M3 .W37 2024 Z013240 2026-01-07 09:27:12 C1 2025-09-30 BK
