Clinical Data Analysis on a Pocket Calculator
Understanding the Scientific Methods of Statistical Reasoning and Hypothesis Testing
Paperback Engels 2018 2e druk 9783319800745Samenvatting
In
medical and health care the scientific method is little used, and statistical
software programs are experienced as black box programs producing lots of
p-values, but little answers to scientific questions. The pocket calculator
analyses appears to be, particularly, appreciated, because they enable medical
and health professionals and students for the first time to understand the
scientific methods of statistical reasoning and hypothesis testing. So much so,
that it can start something like a new dimension in their professional world. In
addition, a
number of statistical methods like power calculations and required sample size
calculations can be performed more easily on a pocket calculator, than using a
software program. Also, there are some specific advantages of the
pocket calculator method. You better understand what you are doing. The pocket
calculator works faster, because far less steps have to be taken, averages can
be used. The current nonmathematical book is complementary to the
nonmathematical "SPSS for Starters and 2nd Levelers" (Springer Heidelberg
Germany 2015, from the same authors), and can very well be used as its daily
companion.
