Understanding Biostatistics looks at the fundamentals of biostatistics, using elementary statistics to explore the nature of statistical tests.

Key features:

  • Discusses confidence intervals and p-values in terms of confidence functions.
  • Explains basic statistical methodology represented in terms of graphics rather than mathematical formulae, whilst highlighting the mathematical basis of biostatistics.
  • Looks at problems of estimating parameters in statistical models and looks at the similarities between different models.
  • Provides an extensive discussion on the position of statistics within the medical scientific process.
  • Discusses distribution functions, including the Guassian distribution and its importance in biostatistics.
