"This book is to be recommended as a standard shelf reference . . . and as a ‘must’ to be read by all who wish to better use and understand data involving dichotomous or dichotomizable measurements." —American Journal of Psychiatry In the two decades since the second edition of Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions was published, evolving technologies and new methodologies have significantly changed the way today’s statistics are viewed and handled. The explosive development of personal computing and statistical software has facilitated the sophisticated analysis of data, putting capabilities that were once the domain of specialists into the hands of every researcher. The Third Edition of this important text addresses these changes and brings the literature up to date. While the previous edition focused on the use of desktop and handheld calculators, the new edition takes full advantage of modern computing power without losing the elegant simplicity that made the text so popular with students and practitioners alike. In authoritative yet clear terminology, the authors have brought the science of data analysis up to date without compromising its accessibility. Features of the Third Edition include: • New material on sample size calculations and issues in clinical trials, and entirely new chapters on single-sample data, logistic regression, Poisson regression, regression models for matched samples, the analysis of correlated binary data, and methods for analyzing fourfold tables with missing data • The addition of many new problems, both numerical and theoretical • Answer sections for numerical problems and hints for tackling the theoretical ones • A frequentist approach enhanced by the inclusion of empirical Bayesian methodology where appropriate Combining the latest research with the original studies that established the previous editions as leaders in the field, Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions, Third Edition will continue to be an invaluable resource for students, statisticians, biostatisticians, and epidemiologists.

This reference book on clinical experimentation focuses on principles that are especially useful in the design and analysis of studies on human subjects. It shows how to choose between modern and classical competing designs for a clinical study - such as crossover designs, multicenter studies, and repeated measure experiments - how to carry out each design and analyze the resulting data. The book provides many practical examples, end-of-chapter problems and references, and solutions to each problem. The mathematical bases are given for several design strategies as well as for their analysis. Also provided are tables of critical values, 200 random permutations of the first one hundred integers, and an appendix on programmable methods for determining sample sizes.

Other volumes in the Wiley Series in Probability and Mathematical Statistics The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data J.D. Kalbfleisch & R.L. Prentice This book collects and unifies statistical models and methods that have been proposed for analyzing failure time data. It considers failure time data that arise when items are placed under varying experimental conditions, focusing on regression problems with survival data and specifically the estimation of regression coefficients and distribution shape in the presence of censoring. Special attention has been given to the biomedical sciences, though many of the models and procedures can be applied to industrial and engineering problems. 1980 Statistics A Biomedical Introduction Byron Wm. Brown, Jr. & Myles Hollander Here are the basic methods of introductory statistics, focusing on real-life examples from medicine, public health, and the natural sciences. Probability, hypothesis testing, estimation, analysis of contingency tables, regression analysis, and analysis of variance are all presented in a nonmathematical format. Topics include design and implementation of clinical trials, statistical evaluation of diagnostic tests, methods of randomization, and methods of analyzing survival data with incomplete observations. 1977 Biostatistics Casebook Rupert G. Miller, Jr., Bradley Efron, Byron Wm. Brown, Jr., & Lincoln E. Moses Deals with the statistical aspects of actual biomedical research problems. Provides sufficient scientific background of each problem to motivate and guide the statistical approach. The data are presented in detail, so that the analyses can be checked and alternative approaches attempted. Brings many new and specially developed concepts and techniques to bear on the cases, often applying a variety of techniques to the same data set. 1980
