ABSTRACT

Building upon material presented in the first edition, Statistical Methods for Health Sciences, Second Edition continues to address the analytical issues related to the modeling and analysis of cluster data, both physical clustering-sampling of communities, families, or herds-and overtime clustering-longitudinal, repeated measures, or time series data. All examples in this new edition are solved using the SAS package, and all SAS programs are provided for understanding material presented. Numerous medical examples make this text especially suitable for applied health scientists and epidemiologists.
