Customer Rating: 

I purchased Medical Statistics Made Easy for my Kindle. It is a well implemented book that is easy to navigate on the Kindle; the simple graphics have been ported perfectly.

The book is basically a summary of most of the statistical tests that will be used and referenced in medical journal articles. For each statistical test, it ranks it by how easy it is to understand, how prevalent its use is, and how important it is to know. Then it goes onto explain the highlights and most important information necessary to understand the test and to evaluate whether it is an appropriate statistical test for a given situation. As I read journal articles, it has proven to be a helpful resource, because even though I've taken a couple statistics classes, I inevitably forget some of the particulars; Medical Statistics made easy has not yet failed me in reminding me or helping me to very quickly learn exactly what I needed to know to understand the statistical portion of the articles.

Finally, if you have a Kindle, I would recommend you download it instead of purchasing the physical, because having it searchable makes it super quick to find exactly what you're looking for. Not to mention, it cost a little bit less digitally than physically.

Customer Rating: 

It is a great reference book for a statistic-phobe like me. Easy to understand but for those needing more detail, will need to get an in-depth book on statistics.

Customer Rating: 

This book lives up to its claim of being concise and easy-to-read but if you're looking to learn about medical statistics this isn't the right book. I'm a med student and this book didn't help me understand medical statistics. It is an interesting read, however, and I would recommend it just for that reason.
