A Practical Guide to Applied Biostatistics

Handbook of Applied Biostatistics: A Practical Guide to Data Management in Scientific Research provides a fast, practical and independent learning tool that allows the reader to understand the indications and applications of statistics. Each chapter starts with definitions and a general overview of the statistical methods or methods of interest. A table of to-be-discussed statistical tests, their utilities and examples of the application are provided, followed by different research scenarios and lists of related hypotheses to be tested. Next, the potentially applicable statistical tests and their assumptions will be discussed to an extent necessary to obtain a clear understanding of the utility and indications of each statistical test, and finally the guidelines for interpretation of analysis output and how to report the findings are explored.

Written in a reader-friendly style which will be accessible to students as well as experienced scientists who want to brush up on their statistics, the Handbook of Applied Biostatistics will be the go-to statistical method resource for graduate students in all biological and clinical disciplines.
