Biostatistics in Action

Designed for medical researchers without a background in statistics, this text takes readers easily from basic boxplots and t-tests to linear and logistic regression and survival analysis to more complex generalized linear and nonlinear models and longitudinal data analysis. With many examples and data drawn from real biomedical research, the book focuses on practical statistical analyses using SPSS. It requires no prior statistical background and only assumes familiarity with elementary mathematics. A solutions manual and figures slides are available with qualifying course adoption.
