Biostatistics: A Computing Approach

摘要

This textbook is based on a course that the author has given for a number of years and so it is probably a good buy for anyone taking the course. Whether it is such a good buy for other potential readers is another matter. Despite the claims of the book's blurb, it does not focus "on visualization and computational approaches associated with modern and classical techniques." The graphics included are disappointing and often badly reproduced, and there are hardly any displays of data. Few modern techniques are covered, and those that are, are covered only briefly.
