This comprehensive textbook is divided into four parts, each consisting of 32 chapters, designed to cater to four short courses covering various levels of medical statistics (biostatistics). Part 1 serves as a compulsory course, introducing students to basic statistical concepts such as descriptive statistics, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, simple correlation, and regression. Part 2 offers a selective course on study design and implementation, covering topics such as sampling survey, interventional study, observational study, diagnosis study, data sorting, and article writing. Part 3 is a specially curated course focusing on multivariate analyses, encompassing complex analyses of variance, various regressions, and classical multivariate analyses. Part 4 serves as a seminar course, introducing students to advanced statistical methods, including meta-analysis, time series analysis, item response theory, structure equation model, multi-level model, bio-informatics, genetic statistics, and data mining.

Each chapter in the book is accompanied by five practical sections: Report Writing, Case Discrimination, Computer Experiments, Frequently Asked Questions, and Summary. Additionally, two attached Appendices are provided. Appendix A offers introductions to statistical software packages such as SPSS, Excel, and R, while Appendix B includes all the programs, data, and printouts for Computer Experiments, along with tests for review and reference answers for Case Discrimination and Practice & Think.

This textbook is highly valuable for biomedical students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding and applying statistical concepts in the field of medicine. Moreover, it is an essential guide for researchers, professionals, and officers working in the biomedical sector, providing them with the necessary tools and techniques to analyze and interpret medical data effectively.
