- Summary:
- Lesaffre (medicine, Erasmus U. Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Catholic U., Belgium) and Lawson (Medical U. of South Carolina, Charleston) explore the Bayesian approach to biostatistics by looking at its application in a wide variety of medical areas, among them epidemiology, exploratory clinical studies, health promotion studies, and clinical trials. About two thirds of the material is from an advanced undergraduate and early graduate course for students of biostatistics, but researchers in other fields who have a solid foundation in statistics should find the book accessible as well. The sections cover basic concepts in Bayesian methods, Bayesian tools for statistical modeling, and practical applications. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
