The last decade has produced many textbooks on Biostatistics, with varying emphasis and degrees of mathematical complexity. This book has stood the test of time and continues to enjoy wide acceptance among students of all health and allied professions, other students and even qualified health investigators, who find it practical, simple and yet precise. This fully updated and thoroughly revised Fifth Edition, while retaining the fundamental concepts, acquaints the reader with the advances in the subject. The book explains the concepts involved in arriving at the sample size and also a quick solution to the estimation of sample size. Survival analysis and log-rank test are illustrated with examples. The essentials of Chi square tests are simplified and presented. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is explained with two examples, with and without interaction term. The chapters on Research Methods, Interventional Studies and Observational Studies provide step-by-step guide to plan and carry out quality research. Questions given in each chapter will help the learner to gauge the level of understanding of the principles and applications. Clues to the use of computer packages are provided whenever necessary. Intended for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students as well as for nursing and paramedical students, the book will also be immensely useful to medical/health faculty and researchers in the field of Biostatistics.

Research technique refers to the actual procedures followed in a study. Specifically, it is the manner a researcher organizes a study such that the results are reliable and valid, and in line with the study's stated goals. This book, Introduction to Biostatistics & Research Methodologies, is written for researchers and students in the health sciences who want a broad introduction to biostatistics. This book on biostatistics and research methodology examines the many applications of statistics that can be found in the medical and health professions. These applications can be found in a broad range of settings. The methods of research as well as biostatistics are broken down in this book, together with their underlying concepts, principles, and processes, as well as the many fields in which they are used. The scientific field of biostatistics is still in its infancy, yet its development is proceeding at a breakneck speed. This branch of study has a wide variety of applications in the area of pharmaceutical research and the practice of pharmacy. The discipline of pharmacy places a significant emphasis on research. A researcher must have a solid foundational knowledge of research fundamentals for a study to be considered successful. These fundamentals include research methodology, experimental designs as well as procedures, and data analysis techniques that would provide accurate as well as insightful interpretations of the data.

Biostatistics with R is designed around the dynamic interplay among statistical methods, their applications in biology, and their implementation. The book explains basic statistical concepts with a simple yet rigorous language. The development of ideas is in the context of real applied problems, for which step-by-step instructions for using R and R-Commander are provided. Topics include data exploration, estimation, hypothesis testing, linear regression analysis, and clustering with two appendices on installing and using R and R-Commander. A novel feature of this book is an introduction to Bayesian analysis. This author discusses basic statistical analysis through a series of biological examples using R and R-Commander as computational tools. The book is ideal for instructors of basic statistics for biologists and other health scientists. The step-by-step application of statistical methods discussed in this book allows readers, who are interested in statistics and its application in biology, to use the book as a self-learning text.

Bernard Rosner's FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOSTATISTICS is a practical introduction to the methods, techniques, and computation of statistics with human subjects. It prepares students for their future courses and careers by introducing the statistical methods most often used in medical literature. Rosner minimizes the amount of mathematical formulation (algebra-based) while still giving complete explanations of all the important concepts. As in previous editions, a major strength of this book is that every new concept is developed systematically through completely worked out examples from current medical research problems. Most methods are illustrated with specific instructions as to implementation using software either from SAS, Stata, R, Excel or Minitab.
