I am taking my first Biostatistics class in medical college, but the textual content I'm utilizing in school (Rosner) has misplaced me. I subsequently borrowed Daniel's e book from the library (solely because it has 7th editions), and I'm glad that I picked it! Daniel is a good writer. The e book is nicely organized and laid out. Important ideas are imposed and explained with minimum arithmetic involved. The effectively thought out examples are value working by way of as properly for clarification of the purposes of essential concepts. However, as a newbie in statistics, I was misplaced in the midst of arithmetic on share ideas (provided that I have a comparatively robust mathematics background) without actually understanding the meaning of some very basic phrases, like percentile, confidence intervals.

What I do is to read another reference book that explains the very primary ideas in plain English first earlier than studying this text. I'm at present using Munro's Statistical Strategies for Health Care Research. Whereas both of them cover the identical set of ideas, Daniel gives me the mathematical and extra advanced explanations evaluate to Munro.

Good biostat ebook that works as a very good reference for people with biostatistical interests. I purchased it because I had a biostat course this semester. It's nice, I recommend it.

Thanks so much for your fast response to send the ebook after I critically needed it. Thanks for being there and preserve sending good things at all times to customers. I do appreciate your work.
