Statistical analysis of epidemiologic data - Steve Selvin

Praise for the First Edition" "For practical examples, and for interpretation of the parameters of logistic-regression and survival analyis, this is a very good book" --New England Journal of Medicine"The text emphasizes the analysis of continuous data within epidemiology, a subject usually not described in very much detail in other epidemiology texts. This book therefore brings closer together the analysis of continuous data within an epidemiological context. This is a well written book that provides an important link between the analysis and interpretation of continuous data in epidemiologic terms. The text would be useful in an intermediate epidemiology course that describes the basics of life-table analysis, logistic regression, and survival analysis." Epidemiology Monitor"Oxford University Press must be commended for adding this excellent textbook as number 17 in its series of Monographs in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Equally, its author must be congratulated on an outstanding readable and useful presentation of the methods of analysis of disease data. The author has filled a gap admirably. I am sure that this book will deservedly become extensively used in the field of epidemiology world-wide; our thanks to the author for allowing us to share the fruits of his teaching skills." International Journal of Health Sciences"This book is well-written and is generally easy to read. Selvin has done a nice job of presenting methods and illustrating the methods with numerical data. A book I will be pleased to own. Selvin has selected his topics carefully, has given a clear exposition of the methods and their application, and has illustrated them with numerous examples....A valuable addition to the professional statisticians'/epidemiologists' library." --Journal of the American Statistical Association Praise for the First Edition" "For practical examples, and for interpretation of the parameters of logistic-regression and survival analyis, this is a very good book" --New England Journal of Medicine "The text emphasizes the analysis of continuous data within epidemiology, a subject usually not described in very much detail in other epidemiology texts.
