Medical Statistics from Scratch

Drawing heavily from Statistics from Scratch and Statistics Further From Scratch, this introductory guide to medical statistics keeps the math to a minimum while explaining the most important procedures for analyzing data. Chapters discuss tables, charts, distribution, numeric summary values, study design, samples and inferences, probability and risk, estimations of value, estimations of difference, ratio, testing hypotheses, measurement of the agreement between two variables, linear regression, and logistic regression.
