商品描述

This book addresses the description and analysis of occurrence data frequently encountered in epidemiological studies. With the occurrence of Covid-19, people have been exposed to the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological data. To be informed consumers of this information, people need to understand the nature and analysis of these data. Effort is made to emphasize concepts rather than mathematics. Subjects range from description of the frequencies of disease to the analysis of associations between the occurrence of disease and exposure. Those analyses begin with simple associations and work up to complex relationships that involve the control of extraneous characteristics. Analyses rely on the statistical software R, which is freeware in wide use by professional epidemiologists and other scientists.

本書探討流行病學研究中經常遇到的發生數據的描述和分析。隨著Covid-19的出現，人們已經接觸到流行病學數據的分析和解釋。為了成為這些信息的知情消費者，人們需要了解這些數據的性質和分析方法。本書力求強調概念而非數學。主題涵蓋從疾病頻率的描述到疾病發生與暴露之間的關聯分析。這些分析從簡單的關聯開始，逐步發展到涉及控制外部特徵的複雜關係。分析依賴於統計軟件R，該軟件是流行病學家和其他科學家廣泛使用的免費軟件。

作者簡介

Robert Hirsch retired as Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Adjunct Professor of Statistics at The George Washington University in 2010. He started at GWU in 1987, with the principal task of helping to develop a public health program. That program is now the School of Public Health and Health Services with more than 300 graduate students enrolled. One of Dr. Hirsch's contributions to this program was the development of courses in public health methodology. These courses continue to be an important part of the curriculum. They include courses in statistics, study design, evaluation of health research literature, questionnaire development, sampling, meta-analysis, and theoretical epidemiology.

Dr. Hirsch is probably best known for his textbooks and other publications that are intended to help people without a mathematics aptitude to understand quantitative issues that are integral to health research and practice. His ability to communicate technical information hasbeen an important asset in his teaching and consulting work. His interest in relating statistics to real life problems prompted him to spend a sabbatical at the Center for Devices and Radiologic Health in the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of this sabbatical was to understand how health methodology can best contribute to governmental regulatory issues. The result of this experience has also given Dr. Hirsch the ability to serve as an interface between industry and the government as well as train graduate students in real-world applications.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Robert Hirsch於2010年退休，他曾擔任喬治華盛頓大學的流行病學和生物統計學教授，並兼任統計學副教授。他於1987年加入GWU，主要任務是協助發展公共衛生計劃。該計劃現在已成為擁有300多名研究生的公共衛生與健康服務學院。Hirsch博士對該計劃的貢獻之一是開發公共衛生方法論課程。這些課程仍然是課程的重要組成部分。它們包括統計學、研究設計、健康研究文獻評估、問卷開發、抽樣、元分析和理論流行病學等課程。

Hirsch博士最著名的是他的教科書和其他出版物，旨在幫助沒有數學才能的人理解與健康研究和實踐相關的定量問題。他在傳達技術信息方面的能力是他教學和咨詢工作中的重要資產。他對將統計學與現實生活問題相關聯的興趣促使他在食品和藥物管理局的設備和放射學健康中心度過了一段休假。這段休假的目的是了解健康方法論如何最好地為政府監管問題做出貢獻。這一經驗的結果還使Hirsch博士能夠充當行業和政府之間的接口，並培訓研究生進行現實世界的應用。
