Sample Size Calculations in Clinical Research, Second Edition (Chapman & Hall/Crc Biostatistics Series) (Hardcover)
Sample Size Calculations in Clinical Research, Second Edition (Chapman & Hall/Crc Biostatistics Series) (Hardcover)
by Shein-Chung Chow
Book Description
This book explains how the formulas and procedures for sample size calculations can be used in a variety of clinical research and development stages. It presents real-world examples from several therapeutic areas to illustrate clinical and statistical concepts, interpretations, and interactions. The book also explores emerging topics in pharmaceutical research and development, including QT/QTc studies with time-dependent replicates and the use of propensity score analysis in nonrandomized or observational studies. This edition now provides sample size calculations for three major areas of clinical research: dose response studies, microarray studies, and Bayesian approaches.

Topics in Biostatistics (Methods in Molecular Biology) (Hardcover)
Topics in Biostatistics (Methods in Molecular Biology) (Hardcover)
by Walter T. Ambrosius
Basic Biostatistics presents a multidisciplinary survey of biostatics methods, each illustrated with hands-on examples. Methods range from the elementary, including descriptive statistics, study design, statistical interference, categorical variables, evaluation of diagnostic tests, comparison of means, linear regression, and logistic regression. These introductory methods create a portfolio of biostatistical techniques for both novice and expert researchers. More complicated statistical methods are introduced as well, including those requiring either collaboration with a biostatistician or the use of a statistical package. Specific topics of interest include microarray analysis, missing data techniques, power and sample size, statistical methods in genetics. Expert advice is given on when to seek statistical help, and how to conduct a meeting with the statistical collaborator or consultant. Basic Biostatistics is an essential resource for researchers at every level of their career.
