Statistical Distributions

Publisher: Wiley
ISBN 10: 0470390638
2010
212 pages

This new edition continues to illust the application of statistical methods to research across various disciplines, including medicine, engineering, business/finance, and the social sciences. Thoroughly revised and updated, the authors have refreshed this book to reflect the changes and current trends in statistical distibution theory that have occured since the publication of the previous edition eight years ago. The introductory chapters introduce the fundamental concepts of the distributions and the relationships between variables. For each distribution that follows, the key formulae, tables and diagrams are presented in a concise, user-friendly format. Key facts and formulas for forty major probability distributions are presented, making the book an ideal introduction to the general theory of statistical distributions as well as a quick reference on its basic principles.
Newly added coverage includes the exploration of connections between distributions using conditioning; discussion of distributions not addressed in the previous edition (such as Generalized Student-t, binomial distribution, and triangular distribution); and a thorough review of conditional probability, conditional expectations, and joint and marginal distributions. A new chapter on statistical inference has also been added, illustrating modeling stgies and the use of conditioning in model building, while also presenting an overview of both classical statistical inference and Bayesian statistical inference.

Product Description:

The Rare Epidemiology book is a comprehensive focused on the rare disease field where both general epidemiological methods and specific methods for low prevalence are discussed. This is the first book to address rare as a public health problem where the epidemiological research constrains are analyzed and at the same time, solutions and also data rare groups are provided. This book is probably a starting point for developing better future epidemiological research programs on rare , and also research stgies in fields such as health planning and decision making, which will be able to promote not only new knowledge but also capacity building for policy makers. Epidemiology is always mentioned in all rare policy documents as an important topic but a comprehensive book on this discipline applied to rare , had never been written before.

Product Description:

The randomized control clinical trial has become the gold standard scientific method for the evaluation of pharmaceuticals, biologics, devices, procedures and diagnostic tests. This trial design has been successy used in both therapeutic and disease prevention trials. It is superior to alternative designs eliminating several sources of bias which exist in those designs. This role has evolved over the past three decades in a number of disease areas including cardiology, opthalmology, cancer and AIDS. While the specifics of using the randomized control design for a specific intervention and disease may differ, the basic fundamentals still apply in developing the study protocol and operational procedures. These fundamentals still apply in developing the study protocol and operational procedures. These fundamentals include identifying the specific questions to be tested and appropriate outcome measures, determining an adequate sample size, specifying the randomization procedure, detailing the intervention with visit schedules for subject evaluation, establishing an interim data and safety monitoring plan, detailing the final analysis plan and determining the organizational structure. This is structured to address the fundamentals as the protocol for a clinical trial is being developed. A chapter is devoted to each of the critical areas of a protocol to aid the clinical trial researcher. The fundamentals described in this are based on sound scientific methodology, statistical principles and years of accumulated experience the three authors. Collectively, the authors have been active researchers in a broad area of clinical trials including cardiology, cancer, opthalmology, diabetes, osteoporosis, AIDS, women’s health and screening tests. In these studies, the authors have served as members of the steering committee responsible for developing the protocol and as members of data and safety monitoring committees. The fundamentals were proposed in the first edition published in 1981 and have not changed substantially in the later editions. However, the number of examples illustrating the fundamentals has greatly expanded base on the collective experience of the authors. This is intended for the clinical researcher who is interested in designing a clinical trial and developing a protocol. It is also of value to researchers and practitioners who must critically evaluate the literature of published clinical trials and assess the merits of each trial and the implications for the care and treatment of patients. The test uses numerous examples of published clinical trials from a variety of medical disciples to meaningy illust the fundamentals. Technical design issues such as sample size are considered but the technical details have been suppressed as much as possible through the use of graphs and tables. While the technical material has been kept to a minimum, the statistician may still find the principles and fundamentals presented in this useful both in a consulting and teaching capacity. The assumes that the readers have only a modest formal statistical background. A basic introductory statistics course is helpful in maximizing the benefit of the . However, a researcher or practitioner with no statistical background would still find most, if not all the chapters understandable and useful.

Perinatal Epidemiology for Public Health Practice

Melissa M. Adams, Greg R. Alexander, Russell S. Kir, Martha S. Wingate, “Perinatal Epidemiology for Public Health Practice”
Springer 2008 ISBN: 0387094385 240 pages PDF 2,6 MB

Advances in medical science, public health, and health care interventions during the 20th century have led to dramatic decreases in infant and maternal mortality. Nonetheless disparities in infant and maternal health persist. Because their health remains a significant public health indicator, Perinatal Epidemiology synthesizes perinatal knowledge through the lens of public health practice. This comprehensive uses a consistent, logical format to offer readers:

A spectrum of topics affecting maternal and infant health: reproductive health concerns, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, and gestation and fetal growth..

Information on timely issues, including infertility, gestational diabetes, preterm delivery, postpartum depression, and SIDS.

Detailed discussions of current epidemiological trends, measures and measurement issues, data sources, and risk and protective factors for each condition covered.

In-depth consideration of public health interventions and their availability, strengths and limitations.

Emerging areas of interest and directions for research.

boxes, definitions of key terms, discussion questions, appendices, and other helpful features.

Perinatal Epidemiology is a valuable, ready resource for public health professionals in maternal and child care, reproduction and fertility. Its accessibility and easy-use format make it an equally strong book for courses in these fields as well as for advanced medical and nursing students in OB/GYN and pediatrics.

Summary: Excellent resource
Rating: 5

This book is the best concise review of perinatal epidemiology. Dr. Kir and his colleagues really made a great contribution in this book. The tables are ultra useful for those interested in researching perinatal health topics.

Statistical Methods for Disease Clustering (Statistics for Biology and Health

Toshiro Tango, “Statistical Methods for Disease Clustering (Statistics for Biology and Health)”
Springer 2010 ISBN: 1441915710 246 pages PDF 10,2 MB

The development of powerful computing environment and the geographical information system (GIS) in recent decades has thrust the analysis of geo-referenced disease incidence data into the mainstream of spatial epidemiology. This book offers a modern perspective on statistical methods for detecting disease clustering, an indispensable procedure to find a statistical evidence on aetiology of the disease under study.

With increasing public health concerns about environmental risks, the need for sophisticated methods for analyzing spatial health events is immediate. Furthermore, the research area of statistical methods for disease clustering now attracts a wide audience due to the perceived need to implement wide-ranging monitoring systems to detect possible health- events such as the occurrence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), pandemic influenza and bioterrorism.

As an invaluable resource for a wide range of audience including public health researchers, epidemiologists and biostatistians, this book features:

A concise introduction to basic concepts of disease clustering/clusters

A historical overview of methods for disease clustering

A detailed treatment of selected methods useful for practical investigation of disease clustering

Analysis and illustration of methods for a variety of real data sets.
