A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences

Offers broad coverage of statistical procedures employed in all the health disciplines, emphasizing learning by intuition rather than by mathematical proof. Focusing on inferential concepts and data analysis, the text presents realistic examples and exercises from many fields, including nursing, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, epidemiology, public health administration, medicine, and mental health. Discusses the expanding role of the computer in health research and administration and encourages the use of computers in problem-solving. There are 100 new exercises--20 with large data sets-- many new illustrations, and a new section on the use of dummy variables in regression analysis. Topics covered include probability distributions, sampling distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, simple linear regression and correlation, multiple regression and correlation, the chi-square distribution and the analysis of frequencies, nonparametric and distribution-free statistics, and vital statistics.
