Modern Methods For Epidemiology (Hb 2013) Hardcover

Thanks to the increased power and affordability of desktop computers in the last decade, using sophisticated statistical methods on real-world data has become feasible. However, a solid grasp of the complex statistical theory underlying these methods is still crucial for accurate application and interpretation, something often lacking in medical publications. Modern Methods for Epidemiology offers a clear and brief introduction to recent advancements in statistical techniques relevant to researchers in epidemiology and biomedicine. 1 Many of these methods are now essential tools in these fields but are often not discussed in depth in standard biostatistics or epidemiology textbooks. The contributors to this book are experienced researchers and experts in their specific areas. 2 This textbook provides a strong starting point for newcomers to epidemiology and for those seeking guidance in more contemporary statistical approaches for observational studies. 3 Epidemiological and biomedical researchers who want to overcome the mathematical hurdles of applying these methods to their work will find this book an accessible and useful resource for self-study and research. It also serves as a valuable teaching material for postgraduate students in medical statistics or epidemiology in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, and globally. 4
