Περιγραφή
R Companion to Epidemiology: Study Design and Data Analysis is a companion volume to the classic textbook by Mark Woodward, Epidemiology: Study Design and Data Analysis, Third Edition. It aims to equip the reader with sufficient knowledge to use R for practising epidemiology. Towards this aim, it reworks the examples in the textbook, presenting the code followed by an explanation and its result.
Features:
- Almost all of the numerical examples in the textbook are reworked in R
- R code is introduced in small portions and explained thoroughly
- Complexity of introduced code is increased only gradually
- More than 300 commands spanning more than 40 libraries are introduced
The book is intended primarily to be used as a supplement to the textbook by undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of epidemiology and statistics. It will also serve practitioners and researchers in epidemiology, who want to learn R for use in their work.
