Elston, Robert C., 1932-
Basic biostatistics for geneticists and epidemiologists : a practical approach / Robert C. Elston, William D. Johnson. - 1 online resource (x, 373 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction : the role and relevance of statistics, genetics and epidemiology in medicine -- Populations, samples, and study design -- Descriptive statistics -- The laws of probability -- Random variables and distributions -- Estimates and confidence limits -- Significance tests and tests of hypotheses -- Likelihood ratios, Bayesian methods and multiple hypotheses -- The many uses of chi-square -- Correlation and regression -- Analysis of variance and linear models -- Some specialized techniques -- Guides to a critical evaluation of published reports.
Anyone who attempts to read genetics or epidemiology research literature needs to understand the essentials of biostatistics. This book, a revised new edition of the successful Essentials of Biostatistics has been written to provide such an understanding to those who have little or no statistical background and who need to keep abreast of new findings in this fast moving field. Unlike many other elementary books on biostatistics, the main focus of this book is to explain basic concepts needed to understand statistical procedures. This Book:.:.; Surveys basic statistical methods used in the gen.
