Statistical Applications for Health Information Management: .

by Carol E. Osborn

A textbook for undergraduate health information management students. Osborne (health information management, Ohio U.) focuses on applying statistical techniques to problems in health care. Statistical techniques discussed include measures of central tendency and variability, normal distribution and statistical inference, hypothesis testing of the difference between two population means, analysis of variance, correlation and linear regression, chi-square tests, and nonparametric methods. Because the focus is on application, it is assumed that the student has had previous experience in probability theory and the normal distribution. Annotation c.
