Basic Microcomputing And Biostatistics

This book introduces and discusses the most important aspects of clinical research methods and biostatistics for oncologists, pursuing a tailor-made and practical approach. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been in vogue in the last few decades, particularly in rapidly advancing fields such as oncology. This approach has been used to support decision-making processes worldwide, sparking new clinical research and guidelines on clinical and surgical oncology.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, CIBB 2016, held in Stirling, UK, in September 2016. The 19 revised full papers and 6 keynotes abstracts presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. The papers deal with the application of computational intelligence to open problems in bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems and synthetic biology, medicalinformatics, computational approaches to life sciences in general.

This is a concise introduction to epidemiology and biostatistics written specifically for medical students and first-time learners of clinical research methods. It presents the core concepts of epidemiology and of biostatistics and illustrates them with extensive examples from the clinical literature. It is the only book on the market written to speak directly to medical students and first-time biomedical researchers by using language and examples that are easy to understand.
