Anyone who
attempts to read genetics or epidemiology research literature needs to
understand the essentials of biostatistics. This book 'Basic Biostatistics for Geneticists and Epidemiologists A Practical Approach', 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 genetics and epidemiology literature, including maximum likelihood and least squares.
- Introduces methods, such as permutation testing and bootstrapping, that are becoming more widely used in both genetic and epidemiological research.
- Is illustrated throughout with simple examples to clarify the statistical methodology.
- Explains Bayes’ theorem pictorially.
- Features exercises, with answers to alternate questions, enabling use as a course text.
Written at an elementary mathematical level so that
readers with high school mathematics will find the content accessible. Graduate
students studying genetic epidemiology, researchers and practitioners from
genetics, epidemiology, biology, medical research and statistics will find this
an invaluable introduction to statistics.
