Essentials of Research Methodology and Biostatistics serve as an introduction to research and biostatistics, preparing learners to critically evaluate research studies and conduct their statistical analyses. The starting part of the book will be devoted to topics including research study classification, study design, experimental design, data measurement and analysis, and ethical research conduct. The book will introduce learners to the foundations of epidemiology, including bias, confounding, and standard epidemiology indicators. The middle part of the book is designed to serve learners who have had little to no prior exposure to biostatistical techniques. This book offers a review of fundamental statistical ideas to learners who have already attended a statistics course related to their study. Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, p-values, sample size, and statistical power are just some of the fundamentals that will be covered in this primer. This book on research methodology and biostatistics addresses a wide range of related subjects, such as how to quantify illness prevalence using biostatistical methods and how to measure and scale techniques in research. Also covered in this book are the fundamentals of hypothesis testing and the methods for determining the validity and reliability of diagnostic and screening tests.

This text book is a comprehensive, user friendly and easy to read resource on Biostatistics and Research Methodology. It is meant for undergraduate and post graduate students of medical and biomedical sciences. Health researchers, research supervisors and faculty members may find it useful as a reference book.

This book contains 13 chapters. They include Basic concepts, Probability and Probability distributions, Tests of Hypotheses, Chi-square test, Analysis of Variance, Experimental Designs, Non-Parametric statistics and Research Methodology. All chapters are written in a lucid manner so that students can understand easily without much mathematical background. Live examples are added for illustration purpose for all the statistical methods. In some cases more than one example is added for wide applicability of the statistical tools. SPSS data analysis procedure is included for most of the popular statistical methods by giving an example in each case. Research Methodology chapter is useful to the P.G students for undertaking research for their dissertation work. This book is also intended to serve as a text book for Pharmacy students at U.G. and P.G. level

Essential Statistical Methods for Medical Statistics presents only key contributions which have been selected from the volume in the Handbook of Statistics: Medical Statistics, Volume 27 (2009). While the use of statistics in these fields has a long and rich history, the explosive growth of science in general, and of clinical and epidemiological sciences in particular, has led to the development of new methods and innovative adaptations of standard methods. This volume is appropriately focused for individuals working in these fields. Contributors are internationally renowned experts in their respective areas. - Contributors are internationally renowned experts in their respective areas - Addresses emerging statistical challenges in epidemiological, biomedical, and pharmaceutical research - Methods for assessing Biomarkers, analysis of competing risks - Clinical trials including sequential and group sequential, crossover designs, cluster randomized, and adaptive designs - Structural equations modelling and longitudinal data analysis

The book approaches research from a perspective different from that taken in other educational research textbooks. The goal is to show educators that the application of research principles can make them more effective in their job of promoting learning. The basic point is that we do not have to stop teaching to do research; research is something we can do while teaching and if we do good research, we will do better teaching. This book includes most of the topics treated in traditional educational research books, but in a different order and with a different emphasis. The important content cons.

With its engaging and conversational tone, Essential Biostatistics: A Nonmathematical Approach provides a clear introduction to statistics for students in a wide range of fields, and a concise statistics refresher for scientists and professionals who need to interpret statistical results. It explains the ideas behind statistics in nonmathematical terms, offers perspectives on how to interpret published statistical results, and points out common conceptual traps to avoid. It can be used as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to a traditional statistics textbook.
