Modern Issues and Methods in Biostatistics

From the book reviews:

“There are 10 chapters, each one covering a major topic in biostatistics in about 30 pages. Each chapter is reasonably self-contained, so a reader does not necessarily need to read all prior chapters to understand a given one. … this is a useful book for upper-level graduate students and Ph.D. statisticians.” (Charles Heckler, Technometrics, Vol. 55 (1), February, 2013)

“This is a first class book. It discusses a wide range of deep issues in statistics, and although focused on topics arising in biostatistics, pharmaceuticals, and clinical trials it would make stimulating and thought-provoking reading for any statistician. … There are exercises at the end of each chapter, and I am certainly tempted to use the book as the basis for a short course for beginning postgraduate students … since it would open their eyes to some challenging and indeed fascinating aspects of modern statistics.” (David J. Hand, International Statistical Review, Vol. 80 (1), 2012)
