Biostatistics for Epidemiology and Public Health Using R
By:Bertram K.C. Chan, PhD
Published on 2015-11-05 by Springer Publishing Company
Since it first appeared in 1996, the open-source programming language R has become increasingly popular as an environment for statistical analysis and graphical output.
This is the first textbook to present classical biostatistical analysis for epidemiology and related public health sciences to students using the R language.
Based on the assumption that readers have minimal familiarity with statistical concepts, the author uses a step-by-step approach to building skills.
The text encompasses biostatistics from basic descriptive and quantitative statistics to survival analysis and missing data analysis in epidemiology.
Illustrative examples, including real-life research problems drawn from such areas as nutrition, environmental health, and behavioral health, engage students and reinforce the understanding of R.
These examples illustrate the replication of R for biostatistical calculations and graphical display of results.
The text covers both essential and advanced techniques and applications in biostatistics that are relevant to epidemiology.
Also included are an instructor's guide, student solutions manual, and downloadable data sets.
