Yet it retains its central philosophy to explain medical statistics with as little technical detail as possible, making it accessible to a wide audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHelpful multiple-choice exercises are included at the end of each chapter, with answers provided at the end of the book. Each analysis technique is carefully explained, and the mathematics kept to a minimum. Written in a style suitable for statisticians and clinicians alike, this edition features many real and original examples, taken from the authors' combined many years' experience of designing and analysing clinical trials and teaching statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudents of the health sciences, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and radiography should find the book useful, with examples relevant to their disciplines. The aim of training courses in medical statistics pertinent to these areas is not to turn the students into medical statisticians but rather to help them interpret the published scientific literature and appreciate how to design studies and analyse data arising from their own projects. However, the reader who is about to design their own study and collect, analyse, and report on their own data will benefit from a clearly written book on the subject which provides practical guidance to such issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical guidance provided by \u003cem\u003eMedical Statistics\u003c\/em\u003e will be of use to professionals working in and\/or managing clinical trials, in academic, public health, government, and industry settings, particularly medical statisticians, clinicians, and trial co-ordinators.
