Reviews"Overall, this remains the best resource out there for teaching introductory biostatistics to graduate students in public health and medicine." - Amy Herring , Duke University "All in all, this is an excellent manuscript and I commend the authors for writing a compelling text that not only provides a sound, comprehensive introduction to biostatistical methods, but also motivates and illustrates them using engaging and relevant contemporary examples. I eagerly look forward to the forthcoming publication of the third edition." - Yue Jiang , Duke University

SynopsisPrinciples of Biostatistics, Third Edition is a concepts-based introduction to statistical procedures that prepares public health, medical, and life sciences students to conduct and evaluate research. With an engaging writing style and helpful graphics, the emphasis is on concepts over formulas or rote memorization. Throughout the book, the authors use practical, interesting examples with real data to bring the material to life. Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition includes a new chapter introducing the basic principles of Study Design, as well as new sections on sample size calculations for two-sample tests on means and proportions, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Cox proportional hazards model. It also includes additional review exercises in each chapter. Features, Includes interesting examples with real data, Uses Stata and R, Datasets, Stata and R code are available on the book's website The book is divided into three parts. The first chapters deal with collections of numbers and ways in which to summarize, explore, and explain them. The next two chapters focus on probability and introduce the tools needed for the subsequent investigation of uncertainty. It is only in the eighth chapter and thereafter that the authors distinguish between populations and samples and begin to investigate the inherent variability introduced by sampling, thus progressing to inference. Postponing the slightly more difficult concepts until a solid foundation has been established makes it easier for the reader to comprehend them., Emphasis on concepts rather than formulas Includes interesting examples with real data Uses Stata and R, This book is a concepts-based introduction to statistical procedures that prepares public health, medical, and life sciences students to conduct and evaluate research. Thoroughly revised, this third edition includes a new chapter introducing the basic principles of Study Design.
