商品簡介
In this text for health information management students and for practicing professionals, Osborn (medical information management, The Ohio State University Health System) explains how statistical techniques can be used to describe and make inferences from health care data. An ongoing case serves as an example for each statistical process presented. Because the focus is on application, it is assumed that the reader has had a previous course in probability theory and the normal distribution. This second edition features new examples and exercises. The text is set up so that students can either use the publisher's web site or input data for each problem using their own statistical software.
