Tutorials in Biostatistics: Statistical Modelling of Complex Medical Data Tutorials in Biostatistics

The Tutorials in Biostatistics series has become a very popular feature of the journal, Statistics in Medicine. The tutorials are accessible, self–contained and of a uniformly high quality. This book is the second of two volumes presenting the best tutorials published in the journal, focusing on statistical modelling of complex medical data. Topics include clustered data, hierarchical models, mixed models, genetic modelling, and meta–analysis. Each tutorial has been fully peer–reviewed and edited, and authored by leading researchers in biostatistics.Presents a collection of tutorials in biostatistics, taken from the prestigious Wiley journal, Statistics in Medicine.Focuses on modelling of complex medical data, including clustered data, hierarchical models, mixed models, genetic modelling, and meta–analysis.Each tutorial has been fully peer reviewed and edited to ensure a high level of quality and to maintain the practical focus.Suitable for medical practitioners with a good understanding of statistics.Each tutorial has been authored by leading researchers in the field.
The Tutorials in Biostatistics volumes provide an authoritative and readable introduction to a wide range of topics suitable for statisticians working in medical research, as well as statistically–minded clinicians, biologists, epidemiologists, and geneticists. Graduate students of biostatistics will find they make excellent reference volumes to support their study.
