From ‘Abcissa’ to ‘Zygosity determination’ - this accessible introduction to the
terminology of medical statistics describes more than 1500 terms all clearly
explained, illustrated and defined in non-technical language, without any
mathematical formulae! With the majority of terms revised and updated and the
addition of more than 100 brand new definitions, this new edition will enable
medical students to quickly grasp the meaning of any of the statistical terms
they encounter when reading the medical literature. Furthermore, annotated
comments are used judiciously to warn the unwary of some of the common pitfalls
that accompany some cherished biomedical statistical techniques. Wherever
possible, the definitions are supplemented with a reference to further reading
where the reader may gain a deeper insight, so whilst the definitions are easily
disgestible, they also provide a stepping stone to a more sophisticated
comprehension. Statistical terminology can be quite bewildering for clinicians:
this guide will be a lifesaver.
