Synopsis:
This edition has been revised throughout, especially in the areas of b inary data to deal with relative risk, absolute risk and the evidence- based criteria of numbers need to treat. Each chapter now has a sectio n on reading and reporting statistics, and self testing at the end of each section makes this an ideal learning tool. As should be gathered from the edition number, this is a venerable 'classic' on the BMJ Books list, and one of the all time best-selling introductions to medical statistics. It takes the novice through the basics step by step, and reinforces learning with exercises at the end of each section. For the tenth edition it has been revised throughout, especially in the areas of binary data to deal with odds ratios, relative risk, absolute risk, and the evidence-based criteria of numbers to treat/harm, and each chapter now has a section on reading and reporting statistics in the medical literature. * An international best seller through nine previous editions * Thoroughly updated new edition with current examples * Perfect introductory text for medical students * One of the subjects of a BMJ Books promotion campaign aimed at epidemiology and statistics professors in all North American medical schools. This is a great book - believe me!
