Health Science Statistics Using R and R Commander

R is an open source statistical package that is finding favour in a wide variety of statistics applications. Initially R was the preserve of trained statisticians. However, it is increasingly being used with non-specialist audiences, at both postgraduate and senior undergraduate levels.
Statistics for the Health and Medical Sciences covers the core information that non-specialists need to know to be able to use and understand R in their research and studies. The book is not a heavyweight user manual for all aspects of R; instead it has been written for non-specialists to help them get up to speed with the software quickly and easily. The book describes all of the common statistical analyses and shows how to perform these analyses in R.
The book features numerous examples and applications from the fields of health and life science to really help the reader understand R and how to use R for their specific data sets. With screen shots and step-by-step instructions throughout, the book provides an easy and thorough introduction to the subject, especially for non-specialists.
