Biostatistics and computer-based analysis of health data using R / Christophe Lalanne and Mounir Mesbah.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Biostatistics and health science setPublication details: London : ISTE Press, 2016.Description: xii, 194 pages : illustrations ; 23 cmISBN:
  • 9781785480881
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 000SB:610 23 L194
Contents:
Chapter 1. Elements of the language -- Chapter 2. Descriptive statistics and estimation -- Chapter 3. Measures and tests of association between two variables -- Chapter 4. Variance Analysis of devariance and Experiments Design -- Chapter 5. Correlation and linear regression -- Chapter 6. Measures of association in epidemiology and logistical regression -- Chapter 7. Survival data analysis -- Appendices.
Summary: Biostatistics and Computer-Based Analysis of Health Data Using the R Software addresses the concept that many of the actions performed by statistical software comes back to the handling, manipulation, or even transformation of digital data. It is therefore of primary importance to understand how statistical data is displayed and how it can be exploited by software such as R. In this book, the authors explore basic and variable commands, sample comparisons, analysis of variance, epidemiological studies, and censored data. With proposed applications and examples of commands following each chapter, this book allows readers to apply advanced statistical concepts to their own data and software.
