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

by Wayne W. Daniel, Chad L. Cross

This 10th edition of "Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences" should appeal to the same audience for which the first nine editions were written: advanced undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and health professionals in need of a reference book on statistical methodology. Like its predecessors, this edition requires few mathematical prerequisites. Only reasonable proficiency in algebra is required for an understanding of the concepts and methods underlying the calculations. The emphasis continues to be on an intuitive understanding of principles rather than an understanding based on mathematical sophistication. For most of the statistical techniques covered in this edition, we discuss the capabilities of one or more software packages (MINITAB, SAS, SPSS, and NCSS) that may be used to perform the calculations needed for their application. Resulting screen displays are also shown.

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.
