Comment from the Stata technical group
Over the last several years, statistical packages that are both relatively
inexpensive and feature an increasing array of estimation commands for more
complex models have become more readily available. As a result, medical
researchers are under increased pressure to feature more elaborate
statistical analyses in their published works. For this reason, scientists
who may lack the statistical expertise of a career statistician still must
understand the statistical methodology needed to carry out their analyses.
At minimum, they need a glossary of statistical terms and concepts as they
apply to medical research, to serve both as a starting point for further
investigation and as a rapid refresher of concepts once learned but rarely
used. In this regard, this text fits the bill quite nicely, from
absolute risk difference to z-test.
