Excellent condition... looks brand new.

It's a text book. Who would read this stuff if they weren't forced to? Well, perhaps I should not ask that question... Have not had an assignment out of it as of yet, but sure I will somehow manage to endure the agony of every minute I am forced to read it. Ok, something positive... It comes with a CD, although it SHOULD be a CD of calming, relaxing music, or even head banging metal would be nice, but I'm sure it is not. Haven't tried that either. Why torture the computer? oh... the cover looks nice. :)

Statistical Methods for Health Care Research

A very well-written and helpful statistics book. It was required reading for a course in Quantitative Nursing Research last semester. Overall, the concepts such as t-tests, correlation and regression were explained in relatively simple terms. Examples with answers were found at the end of each chapter and the book came with a data disk. This was the most user-friendly statistics book that I have used so far!

Great book

I had a chance to review this book. I think the authors can make us much better understand, particularly one who is about to learn the concept of statistics. You can apply this book with the SPSS program in order to interpret the results. Anyway, I still like the calculation parts which are removed in this edition (3rd) compared with the last one. I think they can help someone, who is very interested in statistics, to understand better before go ahead to use the computer. It's a great book for the beginner.

A very user friendly approach to understanding statistics.

An excellent beginning reference book for anyone in need of understanding or interpreting univariate and multivariate statistics. Geared toward health care research, with many examples. A data set is provided with the book for students to use with different analyses. Reading audience is upper division undergraduate or graduate student.
