| Summary |
"This volume contains refereed papers by participants in the two-week workshop on "Clinical Trials" and the one-week workshop on "Epidemiology and the Environment" held as part of the six-week symposium on Statistics in the Health Sciences held by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) in the summer of 1997. Donald Berry was in charge of the workshop on clinical trials, and M. Elizabeth Halloran organized the workshop on epidemiology and the environment."--BOOK JACKET |
