Читать книгу Medical Statistics - David Machin - Страница 11

Statistical analysis features in the majority of papers published in health care journals. Most health care practitioners will need a basic understanding of statistical principles, but not necessarily full details of statistical techniques. Medical statisticians should be consulted early in the planning of a study as they can contribute in a variety of ways and not just once all the data have been collected. Thus, medical statistics can influence good research by improving the design of studies as well as suggesting the optimum analysis of the results and their reporting.
