From 'Abcissa' to 'Zygosity determination' - this accessible
introduction to the terminology of medical statistics describes
more than 1500 terms all clearly explained, illustrated and defined
in non-technical language, without any mathematical formulae! With
the majority of terms revised and updated and the addition of more
than 100 brand new definitions, this new edition will enable
medical students to quickly grasp the meaning of any of the
statistical terms they encounter when reading the medical
literature. Furthermore, annotated comments are used judiciously to
warn the unwary of some of the common pitfalls that accompany some
cherished biomedical statistical techniques. Wherever possible, the
definitions are supplemented with a reference to further reading
where the reader may gain a deeper insight, so whilst the
definitions are easily disgestible, they also provide a stepping
stone to a more sophisticated comprehension. Statistical
terminology can be quite bewildering for clinicians: this guide
will be a lifesaver.
