Description
Epidemiologic Analysis: A Case-Oriented Approach is a comprehensive casebook that uses real data to illustrate how statistical tools can be applied to analyze important epidemiologic issues. With 18 cases covering a range of research problems, from Mendel's classic sweet pea experiments to recent studies on AIDS and electromagnetic field radiation, this book provides a broad audience with the skills to study human health and disease using collected data.
The book includes a wide range of statistical and graphical tools, from simple mean values to nonparametric bivariate regression smoothing techniques. The author's focus on describing, interpreting, and presenting results sets this text apart from other texts, making it an ideal resource for those interested in using data to understand human health and disease.
