This is a compact, highly practical step-by-step textbook of biostatistics for medical students. Unlike other books in the field, which tend to be either too technical or too general, Dr. Carvounis s text gives students and practitioners specific answers about the statistical analysis needed for a specific clinical or basic research project or the appropriate selection of statistical analysis in a technical paper. His book clearly explains with examples data distribution and probabilities, the basics of inferential statistics, comparison of groups with outcome in continuous data, correlation of continuous data and linear regression, ordinal and nominal data, and how to study and read the literature. The text concludes with a self-assessment question-and-answer section, a specially valuable set of appendices showing how to evaluate significance with different statistical techniques, and a thorough index.

Each volume of the Platinum Vignettes presents 50 classic, ultra-high-yield case scenarios of frequently tested topics to give you a clear advantage on the vignette-based Step 1 exam. Plus, the case discussions provide a wealth of tips, insights, buzzwords, advice on handling distractors, and guidance on just what the boards will ask and how to answer. Dr. Brochert has now written 11 books for USMLE prep and is well-recognized name in the board preparation literature Biostatistics cases challenge the reader to, for example, review a pharmaceutical firm's findings, or evaluate the effectiveness of a new chemotherapy drug Behavioral science cases present complex scenarios involving, for example, sexual behavior, drug addiction, rape/violence, and aging Each case includes the valuable feature "More High-Yield Facts" The format allows the reader to guess the diagnosis and postulate on which test to order, what therapy to give, and what to "watch out for" in the patient's condition Hundreds of important buzzwords for the boards are highlighted

This book presents an overview of recent developments in biostatistics and bioinformatics. Written by active researchers in these emerging areas, it is intended to give graduate students and new researchers an idea of where the frontiers of biostatistics and bioinformatics are as well as a forum to learn common techniques in use, so that they can advance the fields via developing new techniques and new results. Extensive references are provided so that researchers can follow the threads to learn more comprehensively what the literature is and to conduct their own research. In particulars, the book covers three important and rapidly advancing topics in biostatistics: analysis of survival and longitudinal data, statistical methods for epidemiology, and bioinformatics.
