Veterinary Medicine

Statistics is a subject that many veterinary and other animal science students approach with foreboding, but it is essential for them to grasp the basics in order to understand their subject and play a contributive part in it. This is true whether they be practitioners, research scientists, diagnosticians, or run commercial pathology services, work in research and development of veterinary drugs, or simply care for healthy animals in performance and production. The increasing need to keep up with the literature and to evaluate the competitive promotions for animal systems and health products requires that students have a sound foundation in biological statistics applied to animal care. The emergence of new diseases requires that risk factors associated with them are carefully evaluated. 
 This introductory book will lead the reader through the basics and form a bridge to more complicated statistical procedures found in advanced texts. Written in a non-mathematical way, it contains numerous worked examples helping the reader to develop understanding of the procedures rather than simply the mechanical abilities to perform them.

In line with the other books in the at a Glance series, Medical Statistics at a Glance leads the reader through a number of self-contained topics, each covering a different aspect of medical statistics. The majority of these use the standard 'At a Glance' format of two pages per topic. 
The authors have provided a basic introduction to the underlying concepts of medical statistics and a guide to the most commonly used statistical procedures. Topics describing a statistical technique are accompanied by a worked example, using real data, illustrating its use. Where possible, the same data set has been used in more than one topic to reflect the reality of data analysis. Detailed and complex hand calculations have been avoided with a concentration on the interpretation of computer data analysis. Medical Statistics at a Glance is versatile in its use as an explanation, a revision summary and a long-term source of reference. <ul> <li>Worked examples to accompany each topic. 
</li> <li>Emphasis on computer analysis of data rather than hand calculations. 
</li> <li>Supported by a website at http://www.medstatsaag.com/ - this site contains useful self-assessment questions to aid student learning.</li> </ul>
