Reviews

"the breadth of coverage of the book is excellent ... a rather different approach to teaching medical statistics."
Statistics in Medicine

"The most readable book that I have yet discovered in the topic"
Community Health Studies

"This book is statistically correct. That is enough to distinguish it from most of its competitors."
British Medical Journal

"This is a technical subject but presented in a delightful way. There are many books on statistics for doctors but there are few that are excellent and this is certainly one of them. Statistics is not an easy subject to teach or write about. The authors have succeeded in producing a book that is as good as it can get. For the keen student who does not want a book on mathematics, this is an excellent first book on medical statistics."

"One word which definitely describes this book is "comprehensive". Anything you ever wanted to know about medical statistics is covered in immense detail."
4th Year Medical Student, Liverpool Medical School Sphincter Magazine, December 2003

"This is a comprehensive book that includes an impressive range of topics often omitted from books aimed at non-statisticians.
...a resource that makes it easy for a beginner to comprehend a wide range of statistical concepts and tools. Essential Medical Statistics fills an important niche by providing practical information on a comprehensive scope of modern statistical methods and, at the same time, communicating on the same wavelengths as physicians and other nonstatisticians."
Teaching of Statistics in the Health Sciences, Section of the American Statistical Association, Spring 2004

"The book is laid out in a logical fashion and includes all of the tables you need to find p-values once you have performed a test. It covers simple statistical methods, such as how to calculate the mean and standard deviation, progressing to linear and multiple regression, Poisson regression and measures of impact and association.
...I would recommend using it to anyone who is still struggling with statistics."
North Wing, Sheffield Medics Magazine, Winter 2004
