Medical Uses of Statisticsby John C. Bailar; David C. Hoaglin
John Wiley & Sons 2012; US$ 89.00
A new edition of the classic guide to the use of statistics in medicine, featuring examples from articles in the New England Journal of Medicine Medical Uses of Statistics has served as one of the most influential works on the subject for physicians, physicians-in-training, and a myriad of healthcare experts who need a clear idea of the proper application of statistical techniques in clinical studies as well as the implications of their interpretation for clinical practice. This Third Edition maintains the focus on the critical ideas, rather than the mechanics, to give practitioners and students the resources they need to understand the statistical methods they encounter in modern medical literature. Bringing together contributions... more...
Statistical Methods for Survival Data Analysisby Elisa T. Lee; John Wang
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 156.00
Third Edition brings the text up to date with new material and updated references. New content includes an introduction to left and interval censored data; the log-logistic distribution; estimation procedures for left and interval censored data; parametric methods iwth covariates; Cox's proportional hazards model (including stratification and time-dependent covariates); and multiple responses to the logistic regression model. Coverage of graphical methods has been deleted. Large data sets are provided on an FTP site for readers' convenience. Bibliographic remarks conclude each chapter. more...
Determining Health Expectanciesby Jean-Marie Robine; Carol Jagger; Colin D. Mathers; Eileen M. Crimmins; Richard M. Suzman
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 245.00
Health expectancies were developed to address the important question of whether or not we are exchanging longer life for poorer health - replacing quality by quantity. Health expectancies extend the concept of life expectancy to morbidity and disability by providing a means of dividing life expectancy into life spent in various states of good and bad health. Being independent of the size of populations and of their age structure, health expectancies thus allow direct comparison of the different groups that constitute populations: sexes, socio-professional categories, regions. This book brings together for the first time, the major works of REVES* over the past ten years. As well as providing comparisons of the health of many of the world's... more...
Quantitative Methods in Population Healthby Mari Palta
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 139.00
Each topic starts with an explanation of the theoretical background necessary to allow full understanding of the technique and to facilitate future learning of more advanced or new methods and software Explanations are designed to assume as little background in mathematics and statistical theory as possible, except that some knowledge of calculus is necessary for certain parts. SAS commands are provided for applying the methods. (PROC REG, PROC MIXED, and PROC GENMOD) All sections contain real life examples, mostly from epidemiologic research First chapter includes a SAS refresher more...
Statistical Estimation of Epidemiological Riskby Kung-Jong Lui
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 115.00
Statistical Estimation of Epidemiological Risk provides coverage of the most important epidemiological indices, and includes recent developments in the field. A useful reference source for biostatisticians and epidemiologists working in disease prevention, as the chapters are self-contained and feature numerous real examples. It has been written at a level suitable for public health professionals with a limited knowledge of statistics. Other key features include: Provides comprehensive coverage of the key epidemiological indices. Includes coverage of various sampling methods, and pointers to where each should be used. Includes up-to-date references and recent developments in the field. Features many real examples, emphasising... more...
Disease Mapping with WinBUGS and MLwiNby Andrew B. Lawson; William J. Browne; Carmen L. Vidal Rodeiro
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 120.00
Disease mapping involves the analysis of geo-referenced disease incidence data and has many applications, for example within resource allocation, cluster alarm analysis, and ecological studies. There is a real need amongst public health workers for simpler and more efficient tools for the analysis of geo-referenced disease incidence data. Bayesian and multilevel methods provide the required efficiency, and with the emergence of software packages – such as WinBUGS and MLwiN – are now easy to implement in practice. Provides an introduction to Bayesian and multilevel modelling in disease mapping. Adopts a practical approach, with many detailed worked examples. Includes introductory material on WinBUGS and MLwiN. Discusses three applications... more...
Bayesian Approaches to Clinical Trials and Health-Care Evaluationby David J. Spiegelhalter; Keith R. Abrams; Jonathan P. Myles
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 90.00
READ ALL ABOUT IT! David Spiegelhalter has recently joined the ranks of Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking by becoming a fellow of the Royal Society. Originating from the Medical Research Council’s biostatistics unit, David has played a leading role in the Bristol heart surgery and Harold Shipman inquiries. Order a copy of this author’s comprehensive text TODAY! The Bayesian approach involves synthesising data and judgement in order to reach conclusions about unknown quantities and make predictions. Bayesian methods have become increasingly popular in recent years, notably in medical research, and although there are a number of books on Bayesian analysis, few cover clinical trials and biostatistical... more...
Econometric Analysis of Health Databy Andrew M. Jones; Owen O'Donnell
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2002; US$ 211.00
Given extensive use of individual level data in Health Economics, it has become increasingly important to understand the microeconometric techniques available to applied researchers. The purpose of this book is to give readers convenient access to a collection of recent contributions that contain innovative applications of microeconometric methods to data on health and health care. Contributions are selected from papers presented at the European Workshops on Econometrics and Health Economics and published in Health Economics. Topics covered include: * Latent Variables * Unobservable heterogeneity and selection problems * Count data and survival analysis * Flexible and semiparametric estimators for limited dependent variables * Classical and... more...
