Statistical Advances in the Biomedical Sciences

Beschreibung

The Most Comprehensive and Cutting-Edge Guide to StatisticalApplications in Biomedical Research With the increasing use of biotechnology in medical research andthe sophisticated advances in computing, it has become essentialfor practitioners in the biomedical sciences to be fully educatedon the role statistics plays in ensuring the accurate analysis ofresearch findings. Statistical Advances in the Biomedical Sciencesexplores the growing value of statistical knowledge in themanagement and comprehension of medical research and, morespecifically, provides an accessible introduction to thecontemporary methodologies used to understand complex problems inthe four major areas of modern-day biomedical science: clinicaltrials, epidemiology, survival analysis, and bioinformatics. Composed of contributions from eminent researchers in the field,this volume discusses the application of statistical techniques tovarious aspects of modern medical research and illustrates howthese methods ultimately prove to be an indispensable part ofproper data collection and analysis. A structural uniformity ismaintained across all chapters, each beginning with an introductionthat discusses general concepts and the biomedical problem underfocus and is followed by specific details on the associatedmethods, algorithms, and applications. In addition, each chapterprovides a summary of the main ideas and offers a concludingremarks section that presents novel ideas, approaches, andchallenges for future research. Complete with detailed references and insight on the futuredirections of biomedical research, Statistical Advances in theBiomedical Sciences provides vital statistical guidance topractitioners in the biomedical sciences while also introducingstatisticians to new, multidisciplinary frontiers of application.This text is an excellent reference for graduate- and PhD-levelcourses in various areas of biostatistics and the medical sciencesand also serves as a valuable tool for medical researchers,statisticians, public health professionals, andbiostatisticians.

(Mathematical Reviews,Issue 2009f) "The authors have done an excellent job of meeting the objectivethey put forward in the preface. They have produced anauthoritative volume of readable chapters ... The chapters arewritten well and will be understandable to graduate students inbiostatistics and statistics. The book will have an importantplace as a reference book on the shelf of many professionalbiostatisticians working in a biomedical researchenvironment. Additionally, it should be useful as a specialtopics text for graduate students in biostatistics and statisticsgraduate programs." (Biometrics, Dec 2008)
