Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences 10th Edition

Excellent, thorough, comprehensive guide to the basics of statistics. Especially useful in clinical epidemiology. Only problem is that the answers to the questions are provided only for odd numbers. Fail. Excel spreadsheets available and very useful. I use STATA so that was missing in the book. In any event, in spite of these shortcomings, Daniel has changed my way of approaching and understanding statistics applied in medicine and healthcare.

Wonderful foundations book; easy to read and understand; highly recommend

I find this book hard to understand. I took basic statistics approximately 10 years ago, and thus my knowledge on the subject is highly limited. This book assumes you know quite a bit about statistics already. The explnations and examples use assumptions that I am not able to follow. There are no headlines within the chapters for important information/formulas, so these are difficult to decipher. Also, my professor is continually saying how the book is just wrong on certain topics. It does not use SPSS, it uses minitab. I would not recommend this book to a beginning stats user. There are better texts out there for this class. I gave it an extra star for having good examples that use real life situations.

Helped me understand how to apply various statistical tests in a methodical manner. Only thing I didn't like was that it was loose-leaf, which I was not expecting

Well written with many examples - makes a difficult subject understandable - for those who are math phobic - like me

Several plus and minus signs are missing from formulas throughout the book. It's just blank. Also, keep in mind the problems are different from the US version of the book. There's a free pdf of the US version available online that I've been referencing to fill-in the formulas and to have the proper problems for homework assignments.

minus the cost of the textbook, great product as described! fast delivery. no problems.

I rented the book for my biostatistics class for the Fall 2018 semester. I was pleased with the rental price yet upset when I saw the condition of the book. It was hardly attached to the cover. As for the material covered in the book, it was hard to understand, might be partly due to me taking an online course. Athe end of the day, I was able to use it as a guide for the information covered in class.
