"This introductory book in Biostatistics is for students in the areas of biology, health, and medicine. It is intended for a one-semester course. It presents principles and practices of biostatistics in the context of substantive, interesting, and up-to-date applications"-- "Principles and Applications of Biostatistics covers the primary concepts and methods that are required for a fundamental understanding of the use and interpretation of statistics for the biological and health sciences-from data presentation to multiple regression and analysis of variance. With a focus clarity, brevity, and accuracy, this text provides understandable and focused explanation of statistical principles and applications along with practical examples and problems drawn from biological health and medical settings. Key Features: Practical questions follow each problem to encourage students to consider why the problem likely exists, help formulate hypotheses, and then statistically assess those hypotheses. Abundant assignment problems at the end of sections and each chapter cover a variety of application areas of biostatistics. Rationale boxes offer explanations of why certain methods are used for specific cases. Well-designed, attractive graphics that help make statistics easier to comprehend are used to present concepts, functions, and data. Applied focus encourages students to use computer applications (SPSS, R, or MS Excel) to demonstrate data analysis. Data analysis systems are used to obtain descriptive measures and basic plots (e.g. stem-and-leaf and box plots) for the purposes of exploratory data analysis-P-values in hypothesis testing and confidence intervals in descriptive and analytic assessment are discussed and included on many of the computer printouts"--

"Introduction to Epidemiology, Eighth Edition is a comprehensive, reader-friendly introduction to this exciting field. Designed for students with minimal training in the biomedical sciences and statistics, this full-color text emphasizes the application of the basic principles of epidemiology according to person, place, and time factors in order to solve current, often unexpected, and serious public health problems. Students will learn how to identify and describe public health problems, formulate research hypotheses, select appropriate research study designs, manage and analyze epidemiologic data, interpret results, and apply results in preventing and controlling disease and health-related events. With real-world examples in the form of case studies and news files in each chapter, Introduction to Epidemiology is an accessible, timely, and effective approach to learning epidemiology"--
