- Summary
- "This second edition of Introduction to Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials provides a concise presentation of the principles applied in this area. It details the concepts behind randomization and methods for designing and analyzing trials and also includes information on meta-analysis and specialized designs, such as crossover trials, cluster-randomized designs, and equivalence studies." "This latest edition features new and revised references, examples exercises, and a new chapter dedicated to binary outcomes and survival analysis. It also presents numerous examples taken from the medical literature, contains exercises at the end of each chapter, and offers solutions in an appendix. The author used Minitab and R software throughout the text for implementing the methods that are presented."--BOOK JACKET.
