Books by Steve (Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology Selvin

In this innovative new book, Steve Selvin provides readers with a clear understanding of intermediate biostatistical methods without advanced mathematics or statistical theory. This text answers the important question: After a typical first-year course in statistical methods, what next?

This popular intermediate-level text continues to focus sharply on clear and practical descriptions of statistical methods for analyzing epidemiological data. Thoroughly revised throughout, the third edition includes a new chapter on Poisson regression analysis, along with many new applied examples and many fresh discussions of key analytic issues.

Using real data from published sources, this engaging and lucid casebook shows how statistical tools can be used to analyze important epidemiologic issues. Its 18 cases are described succinctly and the wide variety of methods used to analyze them are then discussed in detail. The author's focus on describing, interpreting and presenting results will set this book apart from other texts.
