With a captivating writing style and informative graphics, the text prioritizes understanding concepts over mere formulas or memorization. The authors incorporate engaging real-world examples and actual data throughout the book to enliven the subject matter. This thoroughly revised third edition introduces a new chapter on the foundational principles of Study Design and features updated sections on sample size calculations for two-sample tests concerning means and proportions, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Cox proportional hazards model.

Key Features:

• Additional review exercises have been added to each chapter
• Includes a new chapter on the basic principles of study design
• Datasets and Stata and R code are available on the ebook’s website

The PDF ebook is divided into three parts. The first five chapters deal with collections of numbers and ways in which to summarize, explore, and explain them. The next two chapters focus on probability and introduce the tools needed for the subsequent investigation of uncertainty. It is only in the eighth chapter and thereafter that the authors distinguish between populations and samples and begin to investigate the inherent variability introduced by sampling, thus progressing to inference. Postponing the slightly more difficult concepts until a solid foundation has been established makes it easier for the reader to comprehend them.
