Text Book Purchase
| Customer Rating: | | Excepting the fact that I had to wait a little longer for shipping, (Supersaver), the book arrived on the date it was slated to arrive. The book was in excellent condition, with CD and all. |
Not good for a beginner - ok as a reference
| Customer Rating: | This book was used in my grad level intro biostatistics course some months ago- for an intro course (or at least for my learning style) it just didn't work and I had to find alternate resources for almost everything I was studying. (Note that I heard the same or similar from a few of the other students in my class in informal conversation).
I think they were trying to be innovative with how they arranged it - but, at least for me, the material didn't build logically and I kept jumping back and forth trying to figure out what was going on and build my knowledge/expertise in a logical way.
Other people have pointed out the errata, which my teacher had to bring up every once in a while - for a beginner who wouldn't be able to identify them, it's not a good thing.
On a plus, it's nice that it comes w/ some databases on CD you can play with. There are some good flowcharts on picking a test. And it does present good clinical context.
I'll keep the book as an additional reference, but in my opinion it was not the right one to learn the basics on if you're starting at zero. From a student's perspective, wouldn't recommend it at all for a beginning class. |
this book sucks
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |
Try another book
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |
Basic and Clincial Biostats, Scientific Perspective
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |
