It is now a valuable companion to my formal statistics course.-International Journal of Epidemiology I heartily recommend it, especiallyto first years, but it's equally appropriate for an intercalated BScor Postgraduate research. If statistics give you headaches - buy it.If statistics are all you think about - buy it. -GKT Gazette ...Iunreservedly recommend this book to all medical students, especiallythose that dislike reading reams of text. This is one book that willnot sit on your shelf collecting dust once you have graduated and willalso function as a reference book. -4th Year Medical Student, Bartsand the London Chronicle, Spring 2003--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: Aviva Petrie, Head of Biostatistics Unit and SeniorLecturer, Eastman Dental Institute, University College London, HonoraryLecturer in Medical Statistics, Medical Statistics Unit, London Schoolof Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Caroline Sabin, Professor of MedicalStatistics and Epidemiology, Department of Primary Care and PopulationSciences, Royal Free and University College Medical School, London.
