About this title

From the Back Cover

This text introduces readers to more advanced statistical procedures, building on the framework of the authors’ introductory text, Statistical First Aid. It takes readers to a level where they can interpret the analyses most frequently used in the health research literature. Advanced topics such as Bayes’ Theorem, testing the underlying assumptions of a statistical procedure, estimating the required size of a planned sample, and applying exact tests are just some of the methods presented. A tutorial diskette is packaged with the book to enhance learning.
