| Summary |
"This is much more than a basic medical statistics book - it also equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to carry out evidence-based research." "Step-by step, you are guided through how to select the correct test, interpret the statistics, and present the results. The tests are discussed in the context of their research questions and study design, with real data sets as examples." "With guidelines and checklists on how to understand and critically appraise results this guide, written by experienced teachers in clinical research, will be invaluable for health care researchers and clinicians working on all types of research studies."--BOOK JACKET |
