Synopsis
:
The aim of this book is to provide an overview of statistical methods that are im-
portant in the analysis of epidemiologic data, the emphasis being on nonregression
techniques. The book is intended as a classroom text for students enrolled in an epi-
demiology or biostatistics program, and as a reference for established researchers.
The choice and organization of material is based on my experience teaching bio-
statistics to epidemiology graduate students at the University of Alberta. In that set-
ting I emphasize the importance of exploring data using nonregression methods prior
to undertaking a more elaborate regression analysis. It is my conviction that most of
what there is to learn from epidemiologic data can usually be uncovered using non-
regression techniques.
