Average Rating: 
Rating:  - this book sucks
As a grad student required to take a Biostats class, this book sucks. I like that real examples from the literature are used, but one cannot learn what is needed for real life from this book. And no one uses NCSS in real life when analyzing data.
Rating: - Try another book
I had to purchase this book for a class I am taking. This is a fourth edition book and I have to correct errors before reading each chapter. I give publishers some leeway on a first edition, but by the fourth the kinks should be worked out. Also, there is some crucial information missing when making the calculations and sometimes it does not give enough detail on how to work through the problems.
Rating:  - Basic and Clincial Biostats, Scientific Perspective
The book is very detailed and an excellent read and resource for anyone who is in the field of science and someone who reads scientific peer-reviewed journal articles. Though there were some errors in some calculations in the book, overall, it is very helpful and a great way to learn biostatistics and applications in the clinical setting and research settings.
Rating: - definitely not helpful for 'basic' or introductory level
I have very little background in biostats, and need to learn it for medical research and research design.
This book is difficult to read, has far too much emphasis on mathematics and far too little empahisis on concept. After a whole quarter in Biostats using this book, I can tell you very little about how and when to employ certain basis statistics tests or interpret them with confidence. The answers in the back are ofter erroneous, as is some of the text (according to my professor). ... Read More
Rating: - Good Primer
I bought this book in 1990 (an older version) and have never had a statistics course. I have found it to be an extremely helpful starting point for the application of statistical tests to biomedical problems. From this I have gone on and used more sophisticated tools for computation and have only rarely needed to seek out the advice of experts.
The book is packed full of information and covers the broad range of problems most often encountered in biomedical science. It emphasizes an ... Read More
