introduction to Biostatistics /

Abstract

This second edition of the book adds several new features: • An expanded treatment of one‐way ANOVA including multiple testing procedures; • A new chapter on two‐way, three‐way, and higher level ANOVAs, including both fixed, random, and mixed effects ANOVAs; • A substantially revised chapter on regression; • A new chapter on models for repeated measurements using linear mixed models and generalized estimating equations; • Examples worked throughout the book in R in addition to SAS software; • Additional end of chapter exercises in several chapters. These features have been added with the help of a new second author. As in the first edition, data sets used in the in‐chapter examples and end of chapter exercises are largely based on real studies on which we collaborated. The very large data tables referred to throughout this book are too large for inclusion in the printed text; they are available at www.wiley.com/go/Le/Biostatistics.
