Students may enjoy statistics for the first time! * Gilbert S. Omenn, University of Michigan * This book applies what I would call "scientific common sense" to the confusing world of statistical analysis and interpretation. If you want to really understand what a p-value is, read this book. * Louis G. Zachos, University of Mississippi * Intuitive Biostatistics places statistical concepts and practical issues of data analysis within an understandable light. The textbook helps the reader grasp the fundamentals and the pitfalls of data presentation and analysis. It should be on the "must-read" list of clinicians, journal reviewers, editors, and other consumers of scientific literature. * John D. Bonagura, The Ohio State University * I have already recommend the book to many colleagues. A concise, well written, and at times funny book that clearly explains the most important conceptual aspects about statistics, emphasizing proper interpretation of results and common mistakes to avoid. * Walter E.
