42. Bayesian Analysis Made Simple

    An Excel GUI for WinBUGS

    By Phil Woodward

    Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series

    Although the popularity of the Bayesian approach to statistics has been growing for years, many still think of it as somewhat esoteric, not focused on practical issues, or generally too difficult to understand. Bayesian Analysis Made Simple is aimed at those who wish to apply Bayesian methods but...

43. Adaptive and Flexible Clinical Trials

    By Richard Chin

    Adaptive clinical trial designs, unlike traditional fixed clinical trial designs, enable modification of studies in response to the data generated in the course of the trial. This often results in studies that are substantially faster, more efficient, and more powerful. Recent developments in...

44. Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Conifers

    Edited by Christophe Plomion, Jean Bousquet, Chittaranjan Kole

    Series: Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Crop Plants

    This book presents the implications of the genomic revolution for conifers, which go all the way from a better understanding of the evolution of these organisms to new knowledge about the molecular basis of quantitative trait variation, both playing important roles in their domestication....

45. Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach

    By T A Brown

    Genetics today is inexorably focused on DNA. The theme of Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach is therefore the progression from molecules (DNA and genes) to processes (gene expression and DNA replication) to systems (cells, organisms and populations). This progression reflects both the...

46. Flexible Parametric Survival Analysis Using Stata

    Beyond the Cox Model

    By Patrick Royston, Paul C. Lambert

    Through real-world case studies, this book shows how to use Stata to estimate a class of flexible parametric survival models. It discusses the modeling of time-dependent and continuous covariates and looks at how relative survival can be used to measure mortality associated with a particular...

49. Statistical Thinking in Epidemiology

    By Yu-Kang Tu, Mark Gilthorpe

    While biomedical researchers may be able to follow instructions in the manuals accompanying the statistical software packages, they do not always have sufficient knowledge to choose the appropriate statistical methods and correctly interpret their results. Statistical Thinking in Epidemiology...
