Rezensionen
"The great value of this book is that it presents, in an easily understood form, the methods which will be needed in most situations" - Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health
"...this is a superb book, full of useful information.
...The book is logically organized into 18 short, highly readable chapters.
...as a teaching tool, it is invaluable...this book is a handy reference to have on one s bookshelf with nearly all confidence interval formulae organized in one place.
...In summary, Statistics with Confidence and the CIA software are resources that every biostatistician could benefit from."
