Reviews

In Review by International Society for Clinical Biostatistics (Number 65, June 2018), Pentti Nieminen says, "This book is indeed a practical encyclopaedia. It is not only for biostatisticians; it is useful to all those who disseminate medical information and need to do their job well. The book is not a glossary of terms, but a pedagogically-oriented compilation. It is a reference tool for professional communication in medical statistics. Overall, this book is a very comprehensive coverage of data analysis methods as they are used in the reporting of medical research. It is organized so that it is easy to dip in to, with a comprehensive index and extensive lists of further readings available at the end of each section. For those of us who teach or supervise medical students and researchers, this is a useful resource. If you need a text book to assist with explaining, through worked examples and exercises, then you have found a gem."
