With recent disease outbreaks and concerns about bioterrorism, interest in the application of GIS to individual level data has grown. Geocoding Health Data presents a state-of-the-art discussion on current technical and administrative developments in geographic information science that will affect the future practice of geocoding. This book examines how geocoded residential addresses can be used to examine the spatial patterns of cancer incidence, staging, survival, and mortality. It also explores how privacy and confidentiality issues can be addressed by focusing on disclosure limitation methods while simultaneously enabling the use of more accurate spatial data on disease distributions.
A compendium of cutting-edge statistical approaches to solving problems in clinical oncology, this book focuses on clinical trials in phases I, II, and III, proteomic and genomic studies, complementary outcomes and exploratory methods. Cancer Forum called the first edition “a good reference book for statisticians who will be designing and analyzing cancer trials.” The second edition includes over 1000 references, more than forty world-renowned contributors, and 300 equations, tables, and drawings. Completely revised while keeping the features that made the first edition a bestseller, this is the best single source for up-to-date statistical approaches to research in clinical medicine.

Addressing a variety of topics related to this advanced aspect of statistics, the Handbook of Regression and Modeling provides essential information for researchers, graduate students, and scientists who use regression analysis for biostatistics related to clinical and pharmaceutical research. This text includes exploratory data analysis to evaluate the fit of the model to the actual data. It presents a well-defined procedure for adding or subtracting independent variables to the model variables, with methods that rely on computer software. It also applies statistical forecasting methods when data are serially correlated. Additional material covers simple linear and multiple regressions.
Focusing on the important role that statistical methods play in the analysis of the data collected as well as in the overall clinical trial process, Introduction to Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials provides a concise and accessible introduction to clinical trials. This second edition features new and updated references, examples, exercises, and material on binary outcomes and survival analysis. It features numerous real examples taken from The Lancet, includes exercises at the end of the chapter, and offers solutions in an appendix. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, the author uses Minitab and R software throughout the text for implementing the methods presented.
