Description

Long before I had any inkling that I would write a book, I learned that apreface is the author's attempt to engage the reader in a leisurely conversation before serious joint work begins.

In that spirit, I ask you to spend a moment with me now.

Although an important focus of my training and daily work is in mathematics and statistics, I have found that many health care workers in general, and physicians in particular, have difficulty understanding research issues when they are presented mathe- matically.

Statistical principles in medicine are relatively straight- forward and can be' easily absorbed without a heavy mathematical preamble.

I have come to believe that the underlying research principles are not difficult; what is difficult is the mathematics in which the principles are embedded.

The mathematical medium often distorts and confuses the research message for nonmathe- maticians.

I wrote this book to explain the statistical principles in health care in fairly nonmathematical terms.
