Health Analytics

Students and researchers in the health sciences are faced with greater opportunity and challenge than ever before. The opportunity stems from the explosion in publicly available data that simultaneously informs and inspires new avenues of investigation. The challenge is that the analytic tools required go far beyond the standard methods and models of basic statistics. This textbook aims to equip health care researchers with the most important elements of a modern health analytics toolkit, drawing from the fields of statistics, health econometrics, and data science.

This book constitutes selected and revised papers from the Second International Conference on Digital Health and Medical Analytics, DHA 2020, held in Beijing, China, in July 25, 2020.
