Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences, 6th Edition

by Wayne W. Daniel

Like its predecessors, this edition stresses intuitive understanding of principles rather than learning by mathematical proof. Provides broad coverage of statistical procedures used in all the health science disciplines. This version contains a greater emphasis on computer applications (MINITAB command instruction is demonstrated) for most of the statistical techniques. New to this computer printouts demonstrating the SAS® software package, determination of sample size to control Type I and Type II errors, the Fisher Exact Test, the Repeated Measures Design, the Mantel-Haenszel Statistic. More than 250 of the examples and exercises are based on actual data obtained directly from researchers in the health field and from reports of research findings published in health sciences literature.

Really good as far as textbooks go. Clear explanations of statistical tests and where they are appropriate.

Definitely has a spot on my work reference shelf.

Very student friendly. Step by step approach. End of chapter problems are a must if you wanna excel at this excellent subject.

Not cool that AFTER I purchased the book, I learned in reading through the table of contents that the appendices were not available in the Kindle edition. This was very unfortunate, since some of those appendices contained value tables for various test statistics. That made the reading and the practicing very disappointing as an overall experience.
