Statistics for the Health Sciences: A Non-Mathematical Introduction

This book was essential for class, but it had a stench to it.

It came timely, but all of the first couple of chapters pages are not attached to the book so they have fallen out. It’s a really good support for the stats course I am taking.

Helpful in my Statistical Computing course

Easy to read, clear definitions. Helped me understand the information and get an A in the course!

Book was required for doctoral-level stats class.Awful index and glossary. However, it does explain SPSS well.

School book

Removing "maths" from the study of statistics does no one any favors.This is rudimentary at best, and inaccurate at worst. Read the preface and the authors even admit that the trade-off for removing math is a lack of accuracy. Why should "health sciences" have to learn a watered-down, inaccurate version of statistics? Is there some benefit to this beyond playing into the fears some individuals have of math?This is a required text for one of my classes in a graduate nursing program. I am HIGHLY disappointed that it was selected.

Easy to learn the statistical concept

This is an excellent book providing a concise yet fully coprehensive overview of applied statistics for health scientists. It is something more than an introduction as it gives many details in more advanced topics (suitable for postgraduates as well).

One of the best books I have on using SPSS.

very pleased, prompt delivery
