Sommario/riassunto

An introduction to classical biostatistical methods in epidemiology Biostatistical Methods in Epidemiology provides an introduction to a wide range of methods used to analyze epidemiologic data, with a focus on nonregression techniques.

Kaplan-Meier and Poisson methods are described for the analysis of censored survival data. A
