Ongoing evolution of the technology (including three-dimensional TEE) promises to maintain this imaging approach at the forefront of clinical practice. Competent performance of TEE in the patient with CHD, however, requires a number of essential technical and cognitive skills, in addition to a solid understanding of the broad spectrum of congenital pathology. Thus, the important need for a comprehensive reference on the subject to assist specialists who care for these patients. Transesophageal Echocardiography for Congenital Heart Disease represents a unique work, the only textbook of its kind that focuses specifically upon the applications of TEE in CHD. In each chapter, the contributors—highly regarded specialists and leaders in the field—provide practical and instructive information on the many different aspects of CHD evaluation by TEE. The textbook is extensively supplemented with over 700 figures/illustrations and more than 400 high quality videos (available online). This reference will prove an invaluable resource for those who use TEE in the care of both children and adults with CHD, whether they be cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, sonographers, or trainees wishing to obtain basic knowledge or advance their understanding of the field.Transesophageal echocardiographyCongenital heart diseaseImagingTransesophageal echocardiography.Congenital heart diseaseImaging.610616.0757616.1616.1/207543Wong Pierre C.Miller-Hance Wanda C.MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910300089903321Transesophageal Echocardiography for Congenital Heart Disease1521813UNINA03977nam 2200637 450 991081381800332120230125195930.01-63157-446-9(CKB)3710000000831061(BEP)4648712(OCoLC)957560387(CaBNVSL)swl00406796(Au-PeEL)EBL4648712(CaPaEBR)ebr11249676(CaONFJC)MIL949214(OCoLC)957588810(CaSebORM)9781631574467(MiAaPQ)EBC4648712(EXLCZ)99371000000083106120160829d2016 fy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierA primer on nonparametric analysisVolume I /Shahdad NaghshpourFirst edition.New York, New York (222 East 46th Street, New York, NY 10017) :Business Expert Press,2016.1 online resource (xxvii, 120 pages)Economics collection,2163-7628Includes index.1-63157-445-0 Section I.

Nonparametric statistics are used when the requirements for parametric analysis fail, such as when data are not normally distributed or the sample size is too small. The method provides an alternative for such cases and is often nearly as powerful as parametric statistics. Another advantage of nonparametric statistics is that it offers analytical methods that are not available otherwise. In social sciences, often, it is not possible to obtain measurements, which renders customary analysis impossible. For example, it is not possible to measure utility but is possible to rank preference, which is based on the unmeasurable utility. Nonparametric methods provide theoretically valid options for analysis, making the use of unscientific methods unnecessary. Nonparametric methods are intuitive and simple to comprehend, which helps researchers in the social sciences understand the methods in spite of lacking mathematical rigor needed in analytical methods customarily used in science. The only prerequisite for this book is high school level elementary algebra. This book is a methodology book and bypasses theoretical proofs while providing comprehensive explanations of the logic behind the methods and ample examples, which are all solved using direct computations as well as by using Stata. The book is arranged into two integrated volumes. Although each volume, and for that matter each chapter, can be used separately, it is advisable to read as much of both volumes as possible; because familiarity with what is applicable for different problems will enhance capabilities. It is recommended that everyone read the Introduction and Chapter 1 because determining whether data are random or normally distributed is essential in the selection of parametric versus nonparametric methods.Economics collection.2163-7628Nonparametric statisticsNonparametric statisticsmedianorder statisticsrankone sampletwo samplesseveral samplesmultiple comparisonnormalityskewnessNonparametric statistics.519.5Naghshpour Shahdad.890738MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813818003321A primer on nonparametric analysis3969140UNINA
