Short description Responding to the need for elementary textbooks in the area of medical statistics, Medical Statistics from Scratch, Second Edition takes on an informal style to appeal to the reader whose first interest is probably not medical statistics. The level of mathematics is kept to a minimum to make the material accessible to the mathematically unsophisticated reader, without detracting from the breadth of high quality content. Relevance is achieved by the inclusion of many illustrative cases in every chapter, drawn from the current literature. The new edition is extensively revised and benefits from a fresh presentation.
