Description:"Vital Statistics: an introduction to health science statistics" is a new Australian publication. This textbook draws on real world, health-related and local examples, with a broad appeal to the Health Sciences student. It demonstrates how an understanding of statistics is useful both in the real world, and in statistics exams."Vital Statistics: an introduction to health science statistics" is a relatively small and easy-to-read book that will painlessly introduce or re-introduce you to the statistical basics before guiding you through more demanding statistical challenges.Written in recognition of Health Sciences courses which require knowledge of statistical literacy, this book guides the reader to an understanding of why, as well as how and when to use statistics.It explores: How data relates to information, and how information relates to knowledgeHow to use statistics to distinguish information from disinformationThe importance of probability, in statistics and in life That inferential statistics allow us to infer from samples to populations, and how useful such inferences can beHow to appropriately apply and interpret statistical measures of difference and associationHow qualitative and quantitative methods differ, and when it's appropriate to use eachThe special statistical needs of the health sciences, and some especially health science relevant statisticsThe vital importance of computers in the statistical analysis of data, and gives an overview of the most commonly used analysesFrom the Foreword ""Students of health sciences are commonly required to have a basic understanding of statistics. For the more mathematically inclined, this will be easily acquired and there are many existing textbooks that will serve their needs well. However, for others learning about statistics will be an onerous task that may not seem directly relevant to their goal of becoming a health practitioner. To make statistics interesting, relevant and accessible for these students is a continuing challenge for their teachers. Having a suitable textbook that can motivate, inspire and explain complex concepts in plain language would be a big help. This new book by the McKenzie brothers does just that. It reflects many years of experience in explaining statistics to students and practitioners.I hope and expect that this new textbook will infect many health science students with the authors' obvious love of the topic and lead them to want to learn more. In particular, I hope that they see the value of statistics to evidence-based professional practice and become better practitioners as a consequence."?
