About the Book

Epidemiologic studies provide research strategies for investigating public health and scientific questions relating to the factors that cause and prevent ailments in human populations. Statistics in Epidemiology: Methods, Techniques and Applications presents a comprehensive review of the wide range of principles, methods and techniques underlying prospective, retrospective and cross-sectional approaches to epidemiologic studies. Written for epidemiologists and other researchers without extensive backgrounds in statistics, this new book provides a clear and concise description of the statistical tools used in epidemiology. Emphasis is given to the application of these statistical tools, and examples are provided to illustrate direct methods for applying common statistical techniques in order to obtain solutions to problems. Statistics in Epidemiology: Methods, Techniques and Applications goes beyond the elementary material found in basic epidemiology and biostatistics books and provides a detailed account of techniques:

Review :
"This book is an excellent review of fundamental and advanced statistical methods for the analysis of epidemiologic data. The authors cover the derivations of important epidemiologic indices with substantial mathematical detail and applications to various study designs. …Another strength is the care that the authors have taken to give appropriate software choices for each technique cited. …the mathematical thoroughness with which the measures are covered earns this text a high recommendation as a reference text for the practicing quantitative epidemiologist's desktop." -Journal of the American Statistical Association "The book focuses explicitly on epidemiological studies…Other positive features are the absence .of any content devoted to derivations in spite of the extensive and explicit presentation of all the relevant equations…and the inclusion of a numerical example for every one of the computational procedures that is shown...Exceptional literature reference lists follow each of the 11 chapters…" -Techonometrics "This volume is designed as a core handbook for a course in statistics applied to epidemiology…The presentation is accurate and proceeds slowly from crude to stratified estimation, comparing at every step alternative procedures for the calculation of point estimates and confidence intervals...This volume will be welcomed by many clinical epidemiologists for its clear structure and extensive listing of the methods so often cited in the literature." -International Statistical Review "...clearly achieves wide coverage of the important features of statistical epidemiology." -Peter Armitage, Professor Emeritus of Applied Statistics, Oxford University, U.K.
