Short description
The Encyclopedia of Biostatistics is an outstanding achievement in scientific publishing, having gained, in its first edition, immediate acclaim from the academic community and practitioners in the field. This updated edition covers many crucial areas of current research in biostatistics including: topics in Bayesian methodology and applications, modeling of the spread of infectious diseases, and the development of epidemics. In addition the Encyclopedia now includes many contributions that focus on the rapid growth of bioinformatics and its pivotal role in studying the human genome. The Encyclopedia of Biostatistics comprises over 1,300 articles presented in alphabetic sequence across eight volumes. Each contribution has been carefully commissioned, reviewed, and cross-referenced by the Editors-in-Chief and Editorial Board who have taken responsibility for 19 main subject areas within the discipline.
