Sommario/riassunto

The Tutorials in Biostatistics have become a very popular feature of the prestigious Wiley journal, Statistics in Medicine (SIM). The introductory style and practical focus make them accessible to a wide audience including medical practitioners with limited statistical knowledge.   This book represents the second of two volumes presenting the best tutorials published in SIM, focusing on statistical modeling of complex data. Topics include clustered data, hierarchical models, mixed models, genetic modeling, and meta-analysis. Each tutorial is focused on a medical problem, has been
