Primer of Biostatistics

The text focuses on practical areas of statistics in terms of their relevance to biomedical applications, statistical hypothesis testing and estimation. Illustrative examples and challenging problems, culled from recent biomedical literature, highlight the discussions throughout and help foster a more intuitive approach to biostatistics. Packaged with the book or available separately, a software program (Windows or Mac) offers an easy-to-use menu-driven program which performs 17 commonly used statistical tests featured in the text. The program can be used with or without the text. The manual makes the subject easy to understand and relevant to study and research.
