This successful text offers comprehensive coverage of statistics with applications to the medical and public health fields. The book will appeal to advanced undergraduates or graduate students in need of a reference book on methodology but requires a reasonable proficiency in algebra. The focus of Biostatistics is an intuitive understanding of principles rather than mathematical sophistication. The previous edition of this book was published in 1987.
