James E. De Muth
"The book’s coverage … is immense and very impressive. The book
also well describes introductory statistics, and coverage of normal
outcomes was exemplary. The multiple comparisons and nonparametric
statistics chapters in particular were outstanding. The third
edition has made notable improvements over the second edition in
several chapters; there are too many to describe here. … very well
written and easy to read. … very useful and unique reading, given
its wide practical coverage and the approaches taken. I have added
this book to my go-to reference sources … a very good teaching
introduction to statistics for undergraduate and graduate students
… This book may be most useful for persons involved in preclinical
and Phase 1 studies where standard normal, binomial, and
nonparametric methods are used."
—Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, 2015Praise for the Second
Edition:"Dr. De Muth writes clearly about a very complex subject …
The second edition has been expanded and is an even more
comprehensive description of the statistics used within the
pharmaceutical industry and the health care system. … a very useful
reference tool for the pharmaceutical scientist and clinician…"
—Frank J. Ascione, University of Michigan College of Pharmacy"De
Muth has written a book that is both elegant and simple … [it]
enables the reader to clearly understand how to appropriately use
statistics in designing studies and just as importantly determine
when statistics should not be used … an excellent reference book
that will enable the non-statistician to appropriately use
statistical approaches … A unique attribute of this statistical
textbook is the acknowledgement of how statistical tests can be
misused … useful information helps the non-statistician avoid some
of the common errors that are made when using statistical
approaches in the analysis of data."
