Munro's Statistical Methods for Health Care ResearchThis text provides students with a solid foundation for understanding data analysis and specific statistical techniques. Focusing on the most current and frequently used statistical methods in today's health care literature, the book covers essential material for a variety of program levels including in-depth courses beyond the basic statistics course. Now with a new author team, the book is based on the organizational framework that Barbara Hazard Munro developed, which a generation of students and health care providers have used. In each chapter are sections on the research question, examples from literature, types of data required, assumptions, details of the specific technique under discussion, and a fully worked out example of how to compute the statistic both by hand and with IBM SPSS. Expanded discussions of nonparametric (distribution free) statistics and the chi-square statistic are also included. |
