### Comment from the Stata technical group

Essentials of a Successful Biostatistical Collaboration by Arul Earnest is a unique approach to a biostatistics text in that the focus is not purely on study design and statistical analyses. While these topics are certainly discussed, equal attention is given to topics such as planning, project management, and effective communication that are important for any biostatistician who is collaborating with a research team.

The book begins with an overview of observational study designs as well as randomized control trials. Then the discussion turns to data management, power and sample-size calculations, and a variety of statistical analyses. Earnest provides an overview of statistical methods ranging from basics such as t tests and correlation to more advanced topics such as Cox regression and ARIMA models, and each topic is accompanied by the corresponding Stata commands and output. The following chapters give advice on both verbal and written communication, project management, and how to manage collaborations.

This book is a practical resource that will appeal to biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and other members of clinical research teams as well as students who plan to work in this field.
