Basic Biostatistics presents a multidisciplinary survey of biostatics methods, each illustrated with hands-on examples. Methods range from the elementary, including descriptive statistics, study design, statistical interference, categorical variables, evaluation of diagnostic tests, comparison of means, linear regression, and logistic regression. These introductory methods create a portfolio of biostatistical techniques for both novice and expert researchers. More complicated statistical methods are introduced as well, including those requiring either collaboration with a biostatistician or the use of a statistical package. Specific topics of interest include microarray analysis, missing data techniques, power and sample size, statistical methods in genetics. Expert advice is given on when to seek statistical help, and how to conduct a meeting with the statistical collaborator or consultant. Basic Biostatistics is an essential resource for researchers at every level of their career.
