Description: "Statistical Methods in Epidemiological Research" - Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit den Konzepten, Methoden und Anwendungen der allgemeinen Biostatistik für Epidemiologen. Er konzentriert sich auf die Analyse der beiden Haupttypen epidemiologischer Studien: die Kohorten- und die Fallstudie. Autor Stephen Newman erläutert hier die wichtigsten biostatistischen Methoden und vermittelt damit das erforderliche Grundlagenwissen für die Analyse komplexer epidemiologischer Daten in der Praxis. Die jeweiligen statistischen Verfahren werden anhand von Rechenbeispielen zu aktuellen Daten anschaulich und praxisorientiert erläutert. Mit umfangreichem statistischem Hintergrundmaterial.
