This book translates biostatistics in the health sciences literature with clarity and irreverence. It serves as a practical guide that exposes students to every statistical test they may encounter, with careful conceptual explanations and a minimum of algebra. This edition reflects on recent advances in statistics, as well as time-honored methods. For example hierarchical linear modeling, which first appeared in psychology journals and only now is seen in medical literature, is described. Also new is a chapter on testing for equivalence and non-inferiority, and another on getting started with the computer statistics program, SPSS. Free of calculations and jargon, Bare Essentials speak so plainly that one won't need a technical dictionary. No math, all concepts. Throughout the guide, there are highlights of areas in which researchers misuse or misinterpret statistical tests.
