The examples and the statistical methods are laid out with unusual clarity by the simple device of using special formats for each. The book was written with great care and is extremely user-friendly.' '—The UMAP Journal Although the goals and procedures of statistical research have changed little since the Second Edition of Statistics for Research was published, the almost universal availability of personal computers and statistical computing application packages have made it possible for today's statisticians to do more in less time than ever before. The Third Edition of this bestselling text reflects how the changes in the computing environment have transformed the way statistical analyses are performed today.

Statistics in Medicine, Third Edition makes medical statistics easy to understand by students, practicing physicians, and researchers. The book begins with databases from clinical medicine and uses such data to give multiple worked-out illustrations of every method.

The text opens with how to plan studies from conception to publication and what to do with your data, and follows with step-by-step instructions for biostatistical methods from the simplest levels (averages, bar charts) progressively to the more sophisticated methods now being seen in medical articles (multiple regression, noninferiority testing). Examples are given from almost every medical specialty and from dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and health care management. A preliminary guide is given to tailor sections of the text to various lengths of biostatistical courses. Key Features.

Riffenburgh, PhD, advises on experimental design, statistical analysis, and scientific integrity of the approximately 400 concurrent studies at the Naval Medical Center San Diego. A fellow of the American Statistical Association and Royal Statistical Society, he is former Professor and Head, Statistics Department, University of Connecticut, and has been faculty at Virginia Tech., University of Hawaii, University of Maryland, University of California San Diego, San Diego State University, and University of Leiden (The Netherlands). He has been president of his own consulting firm and performed and directed operations research for the U.S.

Government and for NATO. He has consulted on biostatistics throughout his career, has received numerous awards, and has published more than 140 professional articles. 'a highly recommended book that is ideally suited for clinicians who require a strong foundation of statistics.The chapter on modeling concepts and methods and the chapter on clinical decision based on models are both extremely important for those medical professionals and researchers who work with clinical trialsa very good choice for an easily understood, yet comprehensive textbook to accompany a course on the subject, as well as a textbook for individual learning.' - Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2013 '.if you want a single volume that covers statistics in medicine, you can stop lookingThe book is written in a practical and common-sense manner' - Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, 2013 'there are many clear and varied examples with just enough equations and images to serve their purpose.nbsp; For those of us who learn by walking through a problem, this book is a joyDr. Riffenburgh’s text can be a welcome addition to any collection of statistics books.'

- Laboratory Animal Practitioner, 46(3): 2013 'This is an excellent resource and reference for students, teachers, and medical professionals. It is also an excellent tool for medical investigators on how to plan and design medical research and how to interpret medical literature in this evidence-based medicine era.' - Doody.com, June 7, 2013 PRAISE FOR THE THIRD EDITION: 'Statistics in Medicine, Third Edition makes medical statistics easy to understand for students, practicing physicians, and researchersExamples are given from almost every medical specialty and from dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and health care management.' -Doody.com, 2013 'I teach MPH, Preventive Medicine residents, Clinical Science and Population Health Science students. I currently use Statistics in Medicine, 2 nd Edand now am quite fond of it. Its strength is a pedagogical trick of covering the material first at a high level (30,000 ft) and then in detail.My students like the text.'

-Daniel Freeman, PhD, Professor, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston TX. 'It is very difficult to avoid much of the basic mathematics without losing some of the important concepts and foundation to the subject. Many authors that try, fail miserably. Riffenburgh has carefully crafted a text that succeeds in this goal. I consider Riffenburgh's book to be a great choice especially for a two quarter or two semester course.' -Michael Chernick, PhD, Director of Biostatistical Services, Lankenau Institute for Medical Research, Arlington VA.

'About 90% of statistical analysis uses about 30% of the statistical methods, says Riffenburgh (Naval Medical Center San Diego, California), and those are the methods he devotes his attention to. In a textbook for a first course in statistics for future clinicians (not future mathematicians) he explains the procedures step-by-step with many clinical examples.

Among the methods are confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, categorical data, and epidemiological method. He also discusses managing results of analysis, questionnaires and surveys, survival analysis, and logistic regression. The 15 databases he uses are available online. Earlier editions were published in 1999 and 2006. Academic Press is an imprint of Elsevier.'
