Kurzbeschreibung
The explanation and implementation of statistical methods for the medical researcher or statistician remains an integral part of modern medical research. This book explains the use of experimental and analytical biostatistics systems. Its accessible style allows it to be used by the non--mathematician as a fundamental component of successful research. Since the third edition, there have been many developments in statistical techniques. The fourth edition provides the medical statistician with an accessible guide to these techniques and to reflect the extent of their usage in medical research. The new edition takes a much more comprehensive approach to its subject. There has been a radical reorganization of the text to improve the continuity and cohesion of the presentation and to extend the scope by covering many new ideas now being introduced into the analysis of medical research data. The authors have tried to maintain the modest level of mathematical exposition that characterized the earlier editions, essentially confining the mathematics to the statement of algebraic formulae rather than pursuing mathematical proofs. Received the Highly Commended Certificate in the Public Health Category of the 2002 BMA Books Competition.

Einleitungssatz
In one sense medical statistics are merely numerical statements about medical matters: how many people die from a certain cause each year, how many hospital beds are available in a certain area, how much money is spent on a certain medical service. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

The bible of biostatistics.
20. August 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is definitely one of the most comprehensive of all biostatistics textbooks out there and it is also the best. Authoritative in style, it starts from the very basics and surveys in *detail* almost every method in biostatistics.
You will be impressed: Apart from *all* the basic techniques usually found in most biostatistics texbooks, it has two extensive chapters on Bayesian methods (with Gibbs sampling, MCMC, etc., you name it), extensive treatments of clinical trials, extensive treatments of longitudinal data and GEE models, extensive details on the bootstrap and jackknife, an extensive chapter on methods in epidemiology (risk ratios, Mantel-Haenszel method), extensive treatments of categorical data (contingency tables, logistic regression), and an extensive chapter on survival analysis. This is indeed a very extensive book.
"Statistical Methods in Medical Research" is also a book on methodology, so theorems and proofs are not to be expected. Also there are no exercises, but there are excellent illustrative examples of the various methods. While it is very descriptive, it contains enough mathematics to keep the presentation of concepts *complete*. It is also very up-to-date and has an excellent reference list.
In a nutshell, this is a work of great ambition and vision: it will cater for beginners and masters alike.

Good Primer of Medical Statistical Theory
31. März 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This edition if the classic text is extensively revised from previous editions. It offers a good background of theoretical considerations in biomedical statistics. It is particularly useful for the non-statistician physician who is involved in clinical trials.

Invaluable resource on all levels
28. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a principal level Statistician in industry, I have long used Armitage's earlier edition of this text to lend as a resource for non-statistical colleagues, because of its lucid and easily understandable explanations of statistical concepts. However, it has also proved a valuable resource to me personally, because it provided all of the formulas and calculations that I needed to manually recreate analyses; as an example, to calculate overall summary statistics from the summaries of component subgroups. I purchased this new edition for the additional content, such as Bayesian analysis, and have discovered that it still retains all of the advantages of the earlier work.
In short, I find this book to provide the most understandable introduction to statistical concepts, as well as the most useable content, of any such text that I have read. It is invaluable to both the consulting statistician and the practitioner who occasionally has to go 'outside the box' in applying statistical methods.
