a another classic biostatistics text

Byron Brown is an MD PhD and is a professor at Stanford who works in the medical school and helps the Stanford statistics PhD students in their consulting and dissertation research. When I was at Stanford Brown along with the late Rupert Miller and Brad Efron formed the core of the Stanford biostatistics research and they produced some very fine biostatisticians in Sue Leargans, John Hyde, Nancy Reid, Beth Gladen, Gail Gong and Carol Link. Under Rupert Miller's leadership much of the consulting work was documented in the Biostatistics Casebook that Wiley published. Myles Hollander was a graduate student at Stanford who at an earlier time (prior to 1974) graduated and made a name for himself at Florida State University and as an author of books on nonparametric statistical methods. Brown and Hollander teamed to write this impeccable traditional biostatistics text. It has wisely been added to the Wiley classics series and so is available at a reasonable price in paperback. There have been many advances in biostatistics over the last 25 years and this is not reflected in this book which is a reprint of a text that was originally published around 1970. This is a great reference book for anyone with the caveat that other books must be consulted for current results.
