Publisher Synopsis
'This is a welcome second edition of Dupont's book. It incorporates the changes in the STATA 10 command language that are designed to have a more uniform format across models. It also teaches how to look at the data with graphs, a very important part of teaching statistical data analysis to non-statisticians (and biostatistics graduate students!). This is one of the strengths of STATA and it is good to make use of it in a text. The topics are comprehensive and well developed. Moreover, this book will never get hidden on your desk or bookshelf. The shocking pink cover makes it stand out from almost any other book I have.' Teaching of Statistics in the Health Sciences 'With Stata, the author meets the demands of researchers who want to understand the methods without dipping into sophisticated mathematics. ... Although readers without prior training in biostatistics may benefit from the book, those with knowledge of introductory statistics would definitely benefit more. ... this is an ideal textbook for non-biostatistics graduate students for learning advanced biostatistics. It also serves as a good reference for biostatisticians in collaborative work.' Doody's Book Review '...the second edition of this book is an excellent training and reference tool for young (as well as experienced) epidemiologic and biomedical researchers. It provides a comprehensive overview of traditional and novel approaches to model and interpret complex clinical, epidemiologic, and biomedical databases.' Stanley P. Azen, University of Southern California "This is a welcome edition of Dupont's book. The topics are comprehensive and well developed." Ray Hoffmann, The Medical College of Wisconsin for the Teaching Statistics in Health Sciences Newsletter "Although readers without prior training in biostatistics may benefit from the book, those with knowledge of introductory statistics would definitely benefit more. Traditional biomedical researchers may have a bit of difficulty in understanding some complex concepts without further communication with biostatisticians. Thus, this is an ideal textbook for non-biostatistics graduate students for learning advanced biostatistics. It also serves as a good reference for biostatisticians in collaborative work." Doody's Review Service "an excellent training and reference tool for young (as well as experienced) epidemiologic and biomedical researchers. It provides a comprehensive overview of traditional and novel approaches to model and interpret complex clinical, epidemiologic, and biomedical databases. In addition, an excellent and popular statistical package (Stata), widely used in the epidemiologic research population, is presented and demonstrated by using real data sets." Stanley P. Azen, American Journal of Epidemiology Read more...
