Description
About the Book
"In the sixteen years since the second edition of Statistics at Square Two was published, there have been many developments in statistical methodology and in methods of presenting statistics. MJC is pleased that his colleague Richard Jacques, who has considerable experience in more advanced statistical methods and teaching medical statistics to non- statisticians, has joined him as a co-author. Most of the examples have been updated and two new chapters have been added on meta-analysis and on time series analysis. In addition, reference is made to the many checklists which have appeared since the last edition to enable better reporting of research. This book is intended to build on the latest edition of Statistics at Square One."--Book Synopsis
STATISTICS AT SQUARE TWOAn easy-to-follow exploration of intermediate statistical techniques used in medical research
In the newly revised third edition of Statistics at Square Two: Understanding Modern Statistical Applications in Medicine, a team of distinguished statisticians delivers an accessible and intuitive discussion of advanced statistical methods for readers and users of scientific medical literature. This will allow readers to engage critically with modern research as the authors explain the correct interpretation of results in the medical literature.
The book includes two brand new chapters covering meta-analysis and time-series analysis as well as new references to the many checklists that have appeared in recent years to enable better reporting of contemporary research. Most examples have been updated as well, and each chapter contains practice exercises and answers. Readers will also find sample code (in R) for many of the analyses, in addition to:
- A thorough introduction to models and data, including the different types of data, statistical models, and computer-intensive methods
- Comprehensive explorations of multiple linear regression, including the interpretation of computer output, diagnostic statistics such as influential points, and many uses of multiple regression
- Practical discussions of multiple logistic regression, survival analysis, Poisson regression and random effects models including their uses, examples in the medical literature, and strategies for interpreting computer output
Perfect for anyone hoping to better understand the statistics presented in contemporary medical research, Statistics at Square Two: Understanding Modern Statistical Applications in Medicine will also benefit postgraduate students studying statistics and medicine.
