商品描述

 

Trying to read up on statistics can be like trying to decide where you want to start eating the elephant and what's the most digestible way to get it down. This book is written to give bite-size nuggets of insight based on our experiences grappling with datasets large and small. It is intended to bridge the gap between the formal equations and the practicalities of generating a research manuscript. We won't pretend reading it will answer all your questions but it will help explain what questions need to be asked for your study and how you can address them with both accuracy and clarity. The size, detail and (ostensible) organization of this book allow for easy reading and can give a leg (or at least a half-step) up for those seeking more detailed study later.

 

Features include:

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Excel sheets to allow exploration of topics raised
  • Emphasis on intuitive explanations over formulas.
  • Consideration of issues specific to clinical and surgical studies

 

Our audience is someone who may or may not have enjoyed formal statistics education (that is, you may have had it and not enjoyed it ) who may like seeing a more dressed-down presentation of the topics. Actual statisticians may pick this up at risk of a chuckle (with us or at us) and may find some useful ways to present topics to non-statisticians.

 

 

 

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

嘗試閱讀統計學就像試圖決定從哪裡開始吃大象,以及什麼是最容易消化的方式來將其吃下。這本書旨在根據我們處理大小數據集的經驗,提供易於理解的見解。它的目的是彌補正式方程式與生成研究手稿的實際操作之間的差距。我們不會假裝閱讀這本書能回答你所有的問題,但它將幫助解釋在你的研究中需要提出哪些問題,以及你如何以準確和清晰的方式來解決這些問題。這本書的大小、細節和(表面上的)組織使其易於閱讀,並能為那些希望稍後進行更詳細研究的人提供一個優勢(或至少是一個半步)。

本書的特色包括:

- 提供 Excel 表格以便探索所提出的主題
- 強調直觀解釋而非公式
- 考慮臨床和外科研究特有的問題

我們的讀者可能曾經接受過正式的統計教育(也就是說,你可能有過但不喜歡),他們可能會喜歡看到更簡化的主題呈現。實際的統計學家可能會冒著被嘲笑的風險(與我們一起或對我們)來閱讀這本書,並可能會發現一些向非統計學家呈現主題的有用方法。

作者簡介

Mitchell Maltenfort lurched into academic life as a computational neurobiologist before drifting into the less recherché field of biostatistics. He knows just enough to make a complete hash out of things and is creative enough to salvage them afterwards. In his brutish culture, this tradition is known as "larnin'." For tax purposes, he is employed as a biostatistician at CHOP, where he has generated risk scores for hospitalization, analyzed diagnostic variations among clinics, compared international trends in childhood mortality, and evaluated patient-reported outcome scores.

 

Antonia Chen is the Director of Research for Arthroplasty Services at Brigham and Women's Hospital and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. She is a past president of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and is an active collaborator in research studies on topics including infection outcomes and opioid use. She often travels armed with a small and extremely cute dog named Lily who is often the highlight of research meetings where Lily is in attendance.

 

Camilo Restrepo is the Associate Director for Research at the Rothman Institute. He is known informally at RI as "Doctor Data."

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

米切爾·馬爾滕福特以計算神經生物學家的身份進入學術界,隨後轉向較不受重視的生物統計學領域。他對事物的了解剛好足以搞得一團糟,但他也有足夠的創造力來事後挽救。在他的粗獷文化中,這種傳統被稱為「larnin'」。在稅務上,他被聘為費城兒童醫院(CHOP)的生物統計學家,負責生成住院風險評分、分析診斷在各診所之間的變異、比較國際兒童死亡率的趨勢,以及評估病人報告的結果評分。

 

陳安東尼亞是布萊根婦女醫院(Brigham and Women's Hospital)關節置換服務的研究主任,也是哈佛醫學院的副教授。她曾擔任肌肉骨骼感染學會(Musculoskeletal Infection Society, MSIS)的會長,並積極參與有關感染結果和鴉片類藥物使用的研究合作。她經常帶著一隻名叫莉莉的小狗旅行,這隻狗非常可愛,經常成為參加研究會議時的焦點。

 

卡米洛·雷斯特雷波是羅斯曼研究所(Rothman Institute)的研究副主任。在羅斯曼研究所,他非正式地被稱為「數據醫生(Doctor Data)」。
