Publisher's Synopsis
Multivariable analysis is a challenging subject for clinicians, whether they are novice researchers or trained practitioners. Most biostatistics books do not cover multivariable analysis, while existing multivariable analysis books are dense with mathematical formulas. Multivariable Analysis: A Practical Guide for Clinicians steps aside from mathematics to offer conceptual explanations. Dr Mitchell Katz follows a non-threatening, question-and-answer approach to explain how to perform and interpret multivariable analyses. He begins by explaining why clinicians should do multivariable analysis and then guides them through topics such as how to choose multivariable methods, analyse independent variables, and validate multivariable models. The book is loaded with useful tips, tables, figures, and references and examples from medical literature demonstrate real-world applications and uses of multivariable analysis. Multivariable Analysis: A Practical Guide for Clinicians is an indispensable guide for medical students, residents, and practising physicians.
