Introduction to medical biometry and statistics

PROF. RAYMOND PEARL has had many years' experience in teaching the principles of biometric methods to biologists and medical men, and the present book is essentially an account of the mode of treatment of this subject which he has found most successful in the School of Biometry at Johns Hopkins University. It is the result of an attempt to make available a simple exposition of the elementary principles of the subject for those biologists and medical men who have had no special mathematical training, and yet find it necessary to use modern biometric methods in their work.Introduction to Medical Biometry and Statistics.By Prof. Raymond Pearl.
