Book excerpt: This book intends to provide an overview of biostatistics concepts and methodology through the use of statistical software. It helps clinicians, health care and biomedical professionals who need to have basic knowledge of biostatistics as they come across clinical data related to patient, drug and dosage requirement, treatment modalities in day to day life and they are required to take clinical and health care decisions based on the data. This book covers basic concepts involved in the field of Biostatistics such as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, correlation and regression along with the advanced concepts such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis and survival analysis. Each topic is explained with the help of R statistical package (open source package). One important note that the book will not discuss about the formulas and equations involved in the statistical concepts and the author assumes that the readers have basic understanding of excel as the sample dataset is used in the book are mostly excel based datasets and also have some clinical background.

Download or read book Biostatistics written by Geoffrey R. Norman and published by PMPH USA (BC Decker). This book was released on 2008 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the book will be produced in two versions. The textbook will include a CD-Rom with two videotaped lectures by the authors. This book translates biostatistics in the health sciences literature with clarity and irreverence. Students and practitioners alike, applaud Biostatistics as the practical guide that exposes them to every statistical test they may encounter, with careful conceptual explanations and a minimum of algebra. What's New? The new Bare Essentials reflects recent advances in statistics, as well as time-honored methods. For example, "hierarchical linear modeling" which first appeared in psychology journals and only now is described in medical literature. Also new, is a chapter on testing for equivalence and non-inferiority. As well as a chapter with information to get started with the computer statistics program, SPSS. Free of calculations and jargon, Bare Essentials speaks so plainly that you won't need a technical dictionary. No math, all concepts. The objective is to enable you to determine if the research results are applicable to your own patients. Throughout the guide, you'll find highlights of areas in which researchers misuse or misinterpret statistical tests. We have labeled these "C.R.A.P. Detectors" (Convoluted Reasoning and Anti-intellectual Pomposity), which help you to identify faulty methodology and misuse of statistics.

Download or read book Bayesian Methodology An overview with the help of R software written by Editor IJSMI and published by International Journal Statistics and Medical Informatics . This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayesian methodology differs from traditional statistical methodology which involves frequentist approach. Bayesian methodology was introduced by Thomas Bayes (Statistician and minister at the Presbyterian Chapel) during the 18th Century. Bayesian methodology is now widely being used due to its simple, straightforward and interpretable characteristics of probability values and the efficiency of modern day computer systems. Bayesian methodology is now being used in the field of clinical research, clinical trials, epidemiology, econometrics, statistical process control, marketing research and statistical mechanics. It also used in the emerging field such as data science (machine learning and deep learning) and big data analytics. The book provides an overview of Bayesian methodology, its uses in different fields with the help of R statistical open source software.

Download or read book An Introduction to Statistical Learning written by Gareth James and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides an accessible overview of the field of statistical learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance, marketing, and astrophysics in the past twenty years. This book presents some of the most important modeling and prediction techniques, along with relevant applications. Topics include linear regression, classification, resampling methods, shrinkage approaches, tree-based methods, support vector machines, clustering, deep learning, survival analysis, multiple testing, and more. Color graphics and real-world examples are used to illustrate the methods presented. This book is targeted at statisticians and non-statisticians alike, who wish to use cutting-edge statistical learning techniques to analyze their data. Four of the authors co-wrote An Introduction to Statistical Learning, With Applications in R (ISLR), which has become a mainstay of undergraduate and graduate classrooms worldwide, as well as an important reference book for data scientists. One of the keys to its success was that each chapter contains a tutorial on implementing the analyses and methods presented in the R scientific computing environment. However, in recent years Python has become a popular language for data science, and there has been increasing demand for a Python-based alternative to ISLR. Hence, this book (ISLP) covers the same materials as ISLR but with labs implemented in Python. These labs will be useful both for Python novices, as well as experienced users.
