Publisher's Synopsis
This really useful reference book is for students and triallists and is the ideal guide for peer reviewers who are not trained in sample size calculation.
It is for people organising a research project who want to know how many people they will likely need. It also contains an introduction to statistical ideas for people who have not studied the subject.
It uses the method of programmed learning, making it suitable for people without a teacher to learn by themselves.
The author is an MSc in Medical Statistics from Leicester University and a PhD in Statistics from Warwick. A Chartered Statistician, he has taught and given statistical support to health professionals and other academics over two decades and served on a number of review committees for research applications. Some of the methods in this book were presented by the author as a guest speaker during the UEARS 2024 conference for specialist physicians and surgeons
