Data Interpretation, Statistical ; Epidemiologic Studies ; Epidemiology ; Longitudinal Studies ; Models, Statistical ; Statistical methodsAbstract: In this book the most important techniques available for longitudinal data analysis are discussed. This discussion includes simple techniques such as the paired t-test and summary statistics, but also more sophisticated techniques such as generalised estimating equations and random coefficient analysis. A distinction is made between longitudinal analysis with continuous, dichotomous, and categorical outcome variables. It should be stressed that the emphasis of the discussion lies on the interpretation of the different techniques and on the comparison of the results of different techniques. Furthermore, special chapters will deal with the analysis of two measurements, experimental studies and the problem of missing data in longitudinal studies. Finally, an extensive overview of (and a comparison between) different software packages is provided. It is important to realise that this book is a practical guide and especially suitable for non-statisticians.

Epidemiologic Methods ; EpidemiologyClass number: 614.4 Abstract:
* The definitive guide to epidemiology and healthcare research
* Concepts, principles and theory are discussed as a means to understanding methods and techniques
* Examples are both theoretical and applied, to demonstrate how epidemiology works in various settings
* Exercises with answers are embedded in the text, with supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter, to encourage active learning
* Amply illustrated with figures and tables to enhance visual learning
* Objectives expressed in terms of understanding
Epidemiology is the science that underpins health and health care, and is concerned with the pattern, frequency and causes of disease. This introductory text describes and illustrates epidemiology and its applications to policy making, health service planning, and health promotion. Raj Bhopal developed a conceptual approach to epidemiology in the first edition of this successful text, which involved a systematic focus on underlying concepts and fundamental principles, and this second edition expands upon this popular method. It emphasizes theories and principles, as the bedrock of methodology, countering the mounting criticism that epidemiology is an atheoretical discipline. The interdependence of epidemiological studies and their essential unit within a theoretical, technical and ethical framework is an important theme of this book.
The emphasis is on interactive learning throughout, with each chapter including learning objectives, both theoretical and numerical exercises, recent examination questions from relevant courses, and a summary. The text is richly illustrated, with detailed material summarised in tables. The book is written in plain language, with all the necessary technical and specialised terminology explained and defined in a glossary.Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=1498 Hold

Dictionary [PT] ; EpidemiologyAbstract: The new edition of this classic text remains the definitive dictionary in epidemiology. In fact, it is more than a dictionary, with some reviewers remarking that if they had to limit their professional library to one volume, this would be the book they would choose. In the complex field of epidemiology, the definition and concise explanation of terms is a key to understanding epidemiologic concepts, and the dictionary goes beyond simple definitions, as it place each term firmly and clearly in its fuller epidemiologic context.
