Marcello Pagano and Kimberlee Gauvreau's PRINCIPLES OF BIOSTATISTICS, Second Edition is a concepts-based introduction to statistical procedures that prepares public health, medical, and life sciences students to conduct and evaluate research. With an engaging writing style and helpful graphics, the emphasis is on concepts over formulas or rote memorization. Throughout the book, the authors use practical, interesting examples with real data to bring the material to life.
Flunks basic statistics
| Customer Rating: | One of the first things you learn when studying statistics is that correlation does not equal causation. Yet on the very first page of this book the authors ignore this precept in order to engage in a bit of political propaganda.
You'd think someone writing a textbook would be smarter than that. |
Not for the intro-level Stat student
| Customer Rating: | | Bought this off Amazon for the cheapest price for my intro Stat class. Overall, it wasn't that bad because my professor explained the topics in it very well, however, if not for her, the notes and explanation section in the book are much too verbose and lacking good, clear examples. For instance, my Calculus textbook notes section before chapter problems has at least 2-3 problems for every type in varying difficulty whereas this only has one explanation contained in paragraphs. |
another fine introductory biostatistics book
| Customer Rating: | | Like Rosner's book by the same publisher, this text is an introductory text by Harvard professors who teach medical students. It seems to be in competition with Rosner's book which makes me wonder why the same publisher is publishing them both. The style is different but the market and level of the two books seem to be the same. Both texts include diskettes with data for PCs. Both books are well written and cover mostly the same topics. The Pagano text seems to go into a little more detail on contingency tables and survival analysis. Both contain lists of valuable references. |
too wordy
| Customer Rating: |
It is written for students who dont have a good mathematical background..Therefore it is too wordy for an engineer , physics or math student..as a student with such background, I founded many long explanations redundant as they could be said in 2 lines..
|
Complicated language
| Customer Rating: | | The language in this book is very hard to understand. I took statistics when I was an undergrad and but this book is so hard to understand. The authors tried to show more steps in the math examples maybe try to make it easier for the reader but it just make it MUCH more complicated to follow. Sometimes I have to read my undergrad statistics book in order for me to understand the same thing it says in this book. |
