Book Reviews of Intuitive Biostatistics
Book Review: Intuitive Biostatistics and Me
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent addition to my personal, work library of biostatistics and statistics textbooks. I purchased it specifically since it has a formula for calculating confidence intervals for ratios. This formula was not in my favorite statistics textbook, "Statistical Methods" by Snedecor and Cochran. I highly recommend "Intuitive Biostatistics" to other routine users of statistical methods in the field of biology.
Summary of Intuitive Biostatistics
Designed to provide a nonmathematical introduction to biostatistics for medical and health science students, graduate students in the biological sciences, physicians, and researchers, this text explains statistical principles in non-technical language and focuses on explaining the proper scientific interpretation of statistical tests rather than on the mathematical logic of the tests themselves.Intuitive Biostatistics covers all the topics typically found in an introductory statistics text, but with the emphasis on confidence intervals rather than P values, making it easier for students to understand both. Additionally, it introduces a broad range of topics left out of most other introductory texts but used frequently in biomedical publications, including survival curves. multiple comparisons, sensitivity and specificity of lab tests, Bayesian thinking, lod scores, and logistic, proportional hazards and nonlinear regression.
By emphasizing interpretation rather than calculation, this text provides a clear and virtually painless introduction to statistical principles for those students who will need to use statistics constantly in their work. In addition, its practical approach enables readers to understand the statistical results published in biological and medical journals.
