This book presents new and powerful advanced statistical methods that have been used in modern medicine, drug development, and epidemiology. Some of these methods were initially developed for tackling medical problems.All 29 chapters are self-contained. Each chapter represents the new development and future research topics for a medical or statistical branch. For the benefit of readers with different statistical background, each chapter follows a similar style: the explanation of medical challenges, statistical ideas and strategies, statistical methods and techniques, mathematical remarks and background and reference. All chapters are written by experts of the respective topics.

Provides a clear understanding of the application of mixed models, and describes the benefits to be gained from their use as well as the practical implications. Mixed models is becoming a popular method of statistical analysis used for analysing medical data, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. This method often gives improvements over conventional fixed effect models, especially when data are unbalanced. Presently there is no other book covering the application of mixed models to clinical data, making this book essential reading for those involved in this subject. Features include: * Takes a balanced view of mixed models by discussing some of the problems in their use and indicates where more conventional fixed effect models might be preferred. * Easily accessible to practitioners in any areas where mixed models are used, including medical statisticians and economists * Illustrated with numerous medical examples which clearly demonstrate the application of the theory * Extensive coverage of the underlying theory * Devotes a complete chapter to the use of software procedures and macros to fit mixed models. This title is aimed at medical, applied and bio-statisticians, along with teachers and students of advanced statistics courses in mixed models. The book is also suitable for medical scientists who need to understand the techniques used and the assumuptions which underpin their use.

Firmly grounded in medical research, this book emphasizes the interpretation of the results of statistical calculations. The fundamental concepts of study design and statistical inference are explained by illustration and example and, for those who wish to go further, the mathematical background is also described. Much of the data is from the author's own research and statistical consultation. Seventy-five multiple-choice questions and 15 exercises in study design and data analysis are included, with fully explained solutions. This is a highly useful book for students and doctors who wish to learn the practical application of statistical methods.
