Biostatistics: a computing approach

摘要

Biostatistics: A computing approach is an intense read. While assuming that readers have at least a basic understanding of statistical concepts, the author emphasises substance over style and develops many tests and equations from first principles. Although this choice does make the text significantly more difficult to read, it allows for the precision and analytical clarity that make this volume a deep and authoritative biostatistical resource. Many statistical textbooks introduce concepts and apply them to simple examples, but the approach taken in this text is that complete, painstaking development of statistical principles, replete with equations, is a better method.
