Satake, E: Statistical Methods and Reasoning for the Clinica -

. .

Résumé :
Scientific literacy is the foundation to comprehending research methodology -- in its absence, medical professionals will practice unethically by failing to offer premier service to their communities. This text will discuss the fundamentals of statistical methods, including statistical vocabulary, population parameters, sampling methods and descriptive methods like measures, correlation and regression. Also, the topic of probability is emphasized, seeing that in order for any clinician to generate a precise diagnosis, a firm grasp of the probablilistic approach is critical....
