Biostatistics book review This book is very easy to follow. It gives a description of the subject followed by the formulas and numerous examples. There are many helpful problems that follow the chapter. | ||
Do NOT recommend I found this book to be thoroughly frustrating! While many examples are very helpful, the authors explanation leaves much to be desired. There are many many assumptions made in this book that you simply 'know' what he is talking about. There are errors and considering there is now a 9th edition out that is unacceptable. There are many places the author seems to run out of gas in his explanation of new ideas or else a computer is going to figure it out so not go into more detail. He does not follow through on problems and does not explain where he got an answer until a page or 2 later...leaving one frustrated as one tries to understand. I could go on and on, but this is NOT a very good book. While it may contain biological settings to get across what he is trying to prove, that does not mean he explains the statistical component very well. I would not recommend it at all,or else make sure you have a professor that can explain all the nuances that Daniel misses. | ||
nice introductory text I think that Wayne Daniel's book is a fairly comprehensive introductory book in biostatistics. I don't agree with the review who thinks it must be used in a second course rather than a first. Thomas Jefferson University uses it as a first text in biostatistics for their nursing students. I wouldn't mind using it in a first course if I didn't have my own text to use. | ||
Biostatistics review Nice biostat book that works as a good reference for people with biostatistical interests. I bought it because I had a biostat course this semester. It's nice, I recommened it. | ||
