About the Book

Statistical Estimation of Epidemiological Risk provides coverage of the most important epidemiological indices, and includes recent developments in the field. A useful reference source for biostatisticians and epidemiologists working in disease prevention, as the chapters are self-contained and feature numerous real examples. It has been written at a level suitable for public health professionals with a limited knowledge of statistics. Other key features include: Provides comprehensive coverage of the key epidemiological indices. Includes coverage of various sampling methods, and pointers to where each should be used. Includes up-to-date references and recent developments in the field. Features many real examples, emphasising the practical nature of the book. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing the book to be used as a useful reference source. Includes exercises, enabling use as a course text.
