Not only does this textbook teach foundations of epidemiological design and statistical methods, but it also includes topics applicable to new areas of research. The 5th Edition includes coverage of fixed and random effects and mixed effects models; Poisson regression; constructing confidence intervals for U-shaped relationships; analysis of rare variants; Mendelian randomization; and aspects of machine learning and big data analytics. Biostatistics and Epidemiology was written to be accessible for readers without backgrounds in mathematics. It provides clear explanations of underlying principles, as well as practical guidelines of “how to do it” and “how to interpret it.” Key features include a philosophical and logical explanation at the beginning of the book, subsections that can stand alone or serve as reference, cross-referencing, recommended reading, and appendices covering sample calculations for various statistics in the text.BiometryMedicineResearchBiologyResearchEpidemiologyPublic healthBiostatisticsBiomedical ResearchEpidemiologyPublic HealthBiometriathubAssaigs clínicsthubEpidemiologiathubEstadística matemàticathubLlibres electrònicsthubBiometry.MedicineResearch.BiologyResearch.Epidemiology.Public health.Biostatistics.Biomedical Research.Epidemiology.Public Health.BiometriaAssaigs clínicsEpidemiologiaEstadística matemàtica610.724Wassertheil-Smoller Sylvia755487Smoller Jordan W.1961-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910879594003321Biostatistics and Epidemiology2523022UNINA
