“Intuitive Biostatistics places statistical concepts and practical issues of data analysis within an understandable light. The textbook helps the reader grasp the fundamentals and the pitfalls of data presentation and analysis. It should be on the 'must-read' list of clinicians, journal reviewers, editors, and other consumers of scientific literature.” (from Amazon)
Intuitive Biostatistics takes a non-technical, non-quantitative approach to statistics and emphasizes interpretation of statistical results rather than the computational strategies for generating statistical data. This makes the text especially useful for those in health-science fields who have not taken a biostatistics course before. The text is also an excellent resource for professionals in labs, acting as a conceptually oriented and accessible biostatistics guide. With an engaging and conversational tone, Intuitive Biostatistics provides a clear introduction to statistics for undergraduate and graduate students and also serves as a statistics refresher for working scientists.
