Since the publication of the first edition, Biostatistics and
Epidemiology has attracted loyal readers from across specialty areas
in the biomedical community. Not only does this textbook teach
foundations of epidemiological design and statistical methods, but it
also includes topics applicable to new areas of research. Areas
covered in the fourth edition include a new chapter on risk
prediction, risk reclassification and evaluation of biomarkers, new
material on propensity analyses, and a vastly expanded chapter on
genetic epidemiology, which is particularly relevant to those who
wish to understand the epidemiological and statistical aspects of
scientific articles in this rapidly advancing field. Biostatistics and
Epidemiology was written to be accessible for readers without
backgrounds in mathematics. It provides clear explanations of
underlying principles, as well as practical guidelines of "how to do
it" and "how to interpret it." Key features include a philosophical
and logical explanation at the beginning of the book, subsections that
can stand alone or serve as reference, cross-referencing, recommended
reading, and appendices covering sample calculations for various
statistics in the text.
