Readers of medical literature are often overwhelmed by the language of statistics and research methodology while trying to extract the best clinical evidence available. A-Z of Medical Statistics is an essential medical statistics dictionary for non-statisticians, and is therefore an invaluable companion for reading and critically appraising what is read. Statistics and research methods explained in the book's A-Z format allow the reader to locate the information required and avoid the time-consuming process of scanning through whole chapters for relevant information. The book provides clear and succinct explanations of those terms frequently encountered by readers, clarifying their meaning and showing the inter-dependency between various important concepts. A-Z of Medical Statistics will prove an aid to critical appraisal for health care professionals and postgraduate medical students in all disciplines, especially those undertaking research projects or postgraduate examinations |
