“…readers will come away with a better understanding of biostatistics...” (Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Vol.14, No.1, 2005) "…a good textbook for an introductory course in biostatistics at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level…covers a broader variety of topics that is usually found in comparable textbooks…" (The American Statistician, Vol. 58, No. 2, May 2004) "...lucid writing style and numerous real-world examples add to the book's appeal and value...complex subject uniquely accessible..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1028, 2004) “...the authors’ lucid writing style and numerous interesting real-world examples make a complex subject quite acc3essible to a diverse audience...I recommend this book to undergraduate statistics students, medical personnel, public health trainees, or nursing and medical students...would also make an excellent textbook for an introductory...biostatistics course.” (Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2004b) "...the book is most successful in meeting the needs of students..."

"Introductory Biostatistics for the Health Sciences" ist eine fundierte Einführung in die Biostatistik und ihre Anwendungsgebiete.
Der Band richtet sich vorwiegend an Mediziner und Statistiker.
Theorie und Praxis stehen im ausgewogenen Verhältnis, d.h. praktische Anwendungen werden, wo nötig, durch den theoretischen Hintergrund ergänzt.
Der Schwerpunkt liegt eindeutig auf der praktischen Anwendung.
Der Band geht auch auf jüngste Fortschritte bei der Bootstrap-, Outlier- und Meta-Analyse ein, Themen, die in der Regel in Konkurrenzwerken, nicht behandelt werden.
Mit einer Fülle von Übungsaufgaben.
Auch Statistiksoftware wird ausführlich besprochen.
