Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

The Silver Anniversary edition of this classic text takes a more applied and computer-oriented approach to its topical coverage. The book is intended for a one or two semester course in Biostatistics at the undergraduate or graduate level offered by departments of Biostatistics, Statistics, Mathematics, Nursing and other Allied Health disciplines, occasionally of Forestry or Animal Husbandry. Nearly all the examples and exercises make use of real data from actual research projects and reports from health sciences literature. Where appropriate, Minitab, SPSS and SAS commands and printouts are included as part of the examples and solutions to exercises.
