Introductory Applied Biostatistics (with CD-ROM)

This is the "required" textbook for my biostatistics course and after reading most of the chapters, I can see why. Being someone with a weak mathematical background, I find this book to be extremely clear and helpful, taking a step by step approach which is very easy to follow. All the examples are relevant to what is being explained, all the formulas are numbered so when they refer to them later in the text it's easy to find them, and at the end of each chapter is a table summarizing all the formulas and when to use them. As for the answers to the problems, there is a Students Solution Manual available, although I don't see the need for it because as it has been mentioned before, there are plenty of practice examples within the text, and I also have an instructor that can help me go through the problems if I don't understand, instead of simply giving me the answer.

Great text for beginners in SAS. Has output with explanation. Hits all the basics. Would love to see an updated version in e-text or new print.

I purchased this for a class and have NOT re-sold it after the class. It is a great introduction to BioStats and offers a lot of practical medical examples to follow along with. It can get a little bogged down with details, but overall a great stats textbook.

Actually found myself loosing track of time reading the book because it is that readable. However, the index is very poor so it is difficult to find information in it later. I ended up using Google because it was quicker -- even getting bad sites. More use of color could be used to highlight key information.The information is good, when you can find it.

Great book that teaches principles of Biostats integrated with SAS Programming. Very easy to follow along and learn.

It helped me so much!! I'm very happy with the purchase! The book it's very clear and have a lot of examples.

It's an excellent text for the biostatistics with clarity and dynamic for explaining the principles of evaluating and calculating data, nevertheless I hoped a little more examples focused not only in obtaining means, p- value, correlation, etc. but a complete and clear interpretation of some examples I've been preferred.

The book was well maintained, appeared just like new as stated by the seller. It is a very good product for beginners in biostatistics.

Lot's of SAS examples. Some issues where the interpretation of the same figures is presented differently when they probably should not be. Overall good!

Good book for my course

The book was advertised as good condition but the book I received has scribbles and highlights on every 4-5 pages. The cover of the book is in fair condition at best.

Book content fine but paper quality poor.
