Statistical Methods in Medical Research
The first edition of this book was published in 1971 by Professor Peter Armitage.
For the second edition (1987), I joined Peter Armitage as a coauthor, and the
third edition (1994) was again published as Armitage and Berry. For the fourth
edition a third coauthor, Professor John Matthews of the University of Newcastle
upon Tyne, joined the team and this enabled the book to be extended to cover
Bayesian methods in more detail
Permutation, Monte Carlo tests, the bootstrap and jackknife
Non-parametric and non-linear regression
Multilevel models
A fuller coverage of organizational and statistical issues in clinical trials
The full reference of the fourth edition is
ARMITAGE P, BERRY G & MATTHEWS J N S (2002). Statistical Methods in
Medical Research. 4th ed. Blackwell, Oxford, 817pp.
For further details see the
Blackwell Science site.
This edition was awarded a Highly Commended Certificate in the BMA Medical
Books Competition of 2002, Public Health Branch and has been favourably
reviewed
in Statistics in Medicine and the Medical Journal of Australia
The second edition has been translated into Spanish, and the third edition
into Italian and Japanese.
In the first printing of the 4th edition there is an important correction
necessary at the top of page 217; the numerator of (8.16) should be squared as below
