Applied Medical Statistics is an introductory-level textbook written for postgraduate
students in the human life-science field, with most topics also being suitable for undergraduate
medical students. The ultimate objective of this book is to provide help in
developing “habits of mind” for statistical thinking, and to establish a trade-off between
mathematical derivation and know-how application among medical students.
The most distinctive features of this book are summarized as follows: First, emphasis
is placed on the most basic probability theory at the start of the book because, as the
theoretical pillar for almost all statistical methods, strengthening these fundamental
concepts is of great importance for laying a solid theoretical foundation for understanding
subsequent chapters. However, for students to benefit from a practical and
intuitive understanding of principles, rather than presenting abstract concepts, I have
minimized the mathematical sophistication, and introduced content in a user-friendly
style to nurture interest and motivate learning. Second, I have based most of theworking examples on research projects that I have conducted or participated in, and
such real-world settings, in my view, are more helpful for stimulating students’
interest, as well as helping them to learn how to use statistical procedures in practice.
Finally, although this is an elementary applied statistics textbook, it covers some commonly
used advanced statistical techniques, such as survival analysis and logistic
regression. I also discuss fundamental issues in research design, and the inclusion of
this content will greatly enhance the applicability and benefit to students who need to
reference this book while performing day-to-day medical research.
