Description

This book illustrates numerous statistical practices that are commonly used by medical researchers, but which have severe flaws that may not be obvious.� For each example, it provides one or more alternative statistical methods that avoid misleading or incorrect inferences being made. The technical level is kept to a minimum to make the book accessible to non-statisticians. At the same time, since many of the examples describe methods used routinely by medical statisticians with formal statistical training, the book appeals to a broad readership in the medical research community.Typham this is the title: Statistical Remedies for Medical Researchers
