Statistics for Biomedical Engineers and Scientists: How to Analyze and Visualize Data gives an intuitive understanding of the concepts of basic statistics with a focus on solving biomedical problems. It gives the practical skills to use statistics to visualize and analyze data; to ask, and answer, questions about data.

Practical activities and exercises are provided for solving both ‘by hand’ and through using MATLAB. The book could still be used as a book on practical and applied statistics without engaging with the MATLAB exercises.

This text is ideal for students in biomedical engineering and biomedical science taking a course on basic statistics and for researchers who need a self-learning handbook to help them visualize and analyze their data.

This book will enable readers to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics
  • Analyze data and choose an appropriate hypothesis test to answer a given question
  • Compute numerical statistical measures and perform hypothesis tests ‘by hand’
  • Visualize data and perform statistical analysis using MATLAB
  • A practical guide to visualizing and analyzing statistical data
  • Many practical examples and exercises to illustrate the power of statistics in biomedical engineering applications
  • Gives an intuitive understanding of statistical tests
  • Imparts practical skills by showing both how to perform operations ‘by hand’ and use MATLAB as a computational tool
  • Online downloadable materials for students and teachers

Arvustused

"This book is a very interesting introduction to the basic concepts of statistics. The majority of examples are taken from medicine and biology. However, the scope of the book is more general, so it is worth to be read by everybody, who wants to apply statistical methods in any field." --zbMATH

Dr King has over 20 years of experience of teaching computing courses at university level. He is currently a Reader in the Biomedical Engineering department at King's College London. With Paul Aljabar, he designed and developed the Computer Programming module for Biomedical Engineering students upon which this book was based. The module has been running since 2014 and Andrew still co-organises and teaches on it. Between 2001-2005, Andrew worked as an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at Mekelle University in Ethiopia, and was responsible for curriculum development, and design and delivery of a number of computing modules. Andrew's research interests focus mainly on the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to tackle problems in medical imaging, with a special focus on dynamic imaging data, i.e. moving organs (Google Scholar: https://goo.gl/ZZGrGr, group web site: http://kclmmag.org). Dr. Robert Eckersley is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences at Kings College London. His research interests include all aspects of the physics and engineering of medical ultrasound imaging. He has a long standing interest in the development of microbubble contrast agents for quantitative functional imaging with ultrasound. He is currently PI on an EPSRC grant investigating the development of super-resolution strategies for ultrasound imaging and is an co-investigator on the Wellcome and EPSRC funded iFind project http://www.ifindproject.com.
