Tutorials in Biostatistics, Statistical Methods in Clinical Studies cover

The Tutorials in Biostatistics have become a very popular feature of the prestigious Wiley journal, Statistics in Medicine (SIM). The introductory style and practical focus make them accessible to a wide audience including medical practitioners with limited statistical knowledge.   This book represents the first of two volumes presenting the best tutorials published in SIM, focusing on statistical methods in clinical studies. Topics include the design and analysis of clinical trials, epidemiology, survival analysis, and data monitoring. Each tutorial is focused on a medical problem, has been fully peer-reviewed and edited, and is authored by leading researchers in biostatistics.   Many articles include an appendix on the latest developments since publication in the journal and additional references.

This will appeal to statisticians working in medical research, as well as statistically-minded clinicians, biologists, epidemiologists and geneticists. It will also appeal to graduate students of biostatistics.

"The articles within the volume are self-contained, well written, and accessible to readers of widely ranging backgrounds. These volumes should be extremely valuable to practitioners…" (Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2005)

"The biostatistical practitioners who use a broad range of statistical methods would definitely find beneficial and useful to have 'Tutorials in Biostatistics'…" (E-STREAMS, September 2005)

“ …this book gives a well-written and concise overview of selected biostatistical subjects.”  (Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, June 2005)
