The authors have taught statistics and given statistics workshops
in France and the Netherlands for almost 4 years by now. Their
material, mainly on power point, consists of 12 lectures that have
been continuously changed and improved by interaction with various
audiences. For the purpose of the current book simple English text
has been added to the formulas and figures, and the power points
sheets have been rewritten in the format given by Kluwer Academic
Publishers. Cartoons have been removed, since this is not so
relevant for the transmission of thought through a written text,
and at the end of each lecture (chapter) a representative number of
questions and exercises for self-assessment have been added. At the
end of the book detailed answers to the questions and exercises per
lecture are given. The book has been produced with the same size
and frontpage as the textbook "Statistics Applied To Clinical
Trials" by the same authors and edited by same publishers ( 2nd
Edition, DordrechtiBostonlLondon, 2002), and can be applied
together with the current self-assessment book or separately. The
current self-assessment book is different from the texbook, because
it focuses on the most important aspects rather than trying to be
complete. So, it does not deal with all of the subjects assessed in
the texbook. Instead, it repeats on and on the principle things
that are needed for every analysis, and it gives many examples that
are further explained by arrows in the figures.
