Neuware -Converting Data into Evidence: A Statistics Primer for the Medical Practitioner provides a thorough introduction to the key statistical techniques that medical practitioners encounter throughouttheir professional careers. These techniques play an important part in evidence-based medicine or EBM. Adherence to EBM requires medical practitioners to keep abreast of the results of medical research as reported in their general and specialty journals. At the heart of this research is the science of statistics. It is through statistical techniques that researchers are able to discern the patterns in the data that tell a clinical story worth reporting. The authorsbegin by discussing samples and populations, issues involved in causality and causal inference, and ways of describing data. Theythenproceed through the major inferential techniques of hypothesis testing and estimation, providing examples of univariate and bivariate tests. The coverage then moves to statistical modeling, including linear and logistic regression and survival analysis. In a final chapter,a user-friendly introduction to some newer, cutting-edge, regression techniques will be included, such asfixed-effects regression and growth-curve modeling. A unique feature of the work is the extensive presentation of statistical applications from recent medical literature. Over 30 different articles are explicated herein, taken from such journals. With the aid of this primer, the medical researcher will also find it easier to communicate with the statisticians on his or her research team. The book includes a glossary of statistical terms for easy access. This is an important reference work for the shelves of physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician¿s assistants, medical students, and residents.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The present book contains three articles: 'Systems of Linear Differential Equations,' by V. P. Palamodov; 'Fredholm Operators and Their Generalizations,' by S. N. Krachkovskii and A. S. Di kanskii; and 'Representations of Groups and Algebras in Spaces with an Indefinite Metric' by M. A. Naimark and R. S. Ismagilov. In the fi.rst article the accent is on those characteristics of systems of differential equations which distinguish the systems from the scalar case. Considerable space is devoted in particular to 'nonquadratic systems,' a topic that has very recently stimulated interest. The second article is devoted to the algebraic aspects of the theory of operators (determinant theory in particular) in Banach and linear topological spaces. The third article reflects the present state of the art in the given area of the theory of representations, which has been re ceiving considerable attention in connection with its applications in physics (particularly in quantum field theory) and in the theory of differential equations.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Coding theory, system theory, and symbolic dynamics have much in common, including concerns for construction of state space representations, understanding of fundamental structural properties of sequence spaces, construction of input/output systems, and understanding the special role played by algebraic structure. A major new theme in this active area of research is codes and systems based on graphical models. This volume contains articles from leading researchers at the interface of these subjects, both survey articles for non-specialists and original research papers.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 540 pp. Englisch.
