Banish your fears of statistical analysis using this clearlywritten and highly successful textbook. Statistics forVeterinary and Animal Science Third Edition is an introductorytext which assumes no previous knowledge of statistics. Itstarts with very basic methodology and builds on it to encompasssome of the more advanced techniques that are currently used. This book will enable you to handle numerical data and criticallyappraise the veterinary and animal science literature. Written in anon-mathematical way, the emphasis is on understanding theunderlying concepts and correctly interpreting computer output, andnot on working through mathematical formulae. Key features: Flow charts are provided to enable you to choose the correctstatistical analyses in different situations Numerous real worked examples are included to help you masterthe procedures Two statistical packages, SPSS and Stata, are used to analysedata to familiarise you with typical computer output The data sets from the examples in the book are available aselectronic files to download from the book’s companionwebsite in ASCII, Excel, SPSS, Stata and RWorkspace formats, allowing you to practice using your ownsoftware and fully get to grips with the techniques A clear indication is provided of the more advanced or obscuretopics so that, if desired, you can skip them without loss ofcontinuity. New to this edition: New chapter on reporting guidelines relevant to veterinarymedicine as a ready reference for those wanting to follow bestpractice in planning and writing up research New chapter on critical appraisal of randomized controlledtrials and observational studies in the published literature: atemplate is provided which is used to critically appraise twopapers New chapter introducing specialist topics: ethical issues ofanimal investigations, spatial statistics, veterinary surveillance,and statistics in molecular and quantitative genetics Expanded glossaries of notation and terms Additional exercises and further explanations added throughoutto make the book more comprehensive. Carrying out statistical procedures and interpreting the resultsis an integral part of veterinary and animal science. This is theonly book on statistics that is specifically written for veterinaryscience and animal science students, researchers andpractitioners.

Recent Statistical techniques are one of the basal evidence for clinical research, a pivotal in handling new clinical research and in evaluating and applying prior research. This book explores various choices of statistical tools and mechanisms, analyses of the associations among different clinical attributes. It uses advanced statistical methods to describe real clinical data sets, when the clinical processes being examined are still in the process. This book also discusses distinct methods for building predictive and probability distribution models in clinical situations and ways to assess the stability of these models and other quantitative conclusions drawn by realistic experimental data sets. Design of experiments and recent posthoc tests have been used in comparing treatment effects and precision of the experimentation. This book also facilitates clinicians towards understanding statistics and enabling them to follow and evaluate the real empirical studies (formulation of randomized control trial) that pledge insight evidence base for clinical practices. This book will be a useful resource for clinicians, postgraduates scholars in medicines, clinical research beginners and academicians to nurture high-level statistical tools with extensive scope.

Designed to cover techniques for analysis of data in the animal sciences, this popular textbook provides an overview of the basic principles of statistics enabling the subsequent applications to be carried out with familiarity and understanding. Each chapter begins by introducing a problem with practical questions, followed by a brief theoretical background. Most topics are followed up with numerical examples to illustrate the methods described using data-sets from animal sciences and related fields. The same examples are then solved using the SAS software package. Written primarily for students and researchers in animal sciences, the text is also useful for those studying agricultural, biological, and veterinary sciences.

This book presents models describing HIV transmission rates at population level, discussing the main statistical methods and analytical interventions. It also assesses the practical applicability of the various modelling techniques, offering readers insights into what methods are available and, more importantly, when they should be used to address HIV transmission at global level. The book includes realistic simulation models fitted to clarify the rate of HIV mother-to-child transmission (HIV MTCT), and substantiates the conclusions that can be drawn as well as the appropriate time for making global-level clinical decisions concerning people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIVs). Intended for students, academics and researchers, the book offers more than just an introduction to the topic – it also features in-depth, yet easy-to-understand, descriptions of a new mathematical/statistical HIV mother-to-child transmission model, making it a useful resource for clinicians, public health workers and policymakers involved in implementing HIV-prevention programmes at national /global level.

COVID Transmission Modeling: An Insight into Infectious Diseases Mechanism provides an interdisciplinary overview of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and covers various aspects of newer modeling techniques and practical solutions for health emergencies. This book aims to formulate various innovative and pragmatic mathematical, statistical, and epidemiological models using COVID-19 real data sets. It emphasizes interdisciplinary theoretical postulates derived from practical insights and knowledge of public health. Each of the book’s 12 chapters provides invaluable and exploratory tools to enable explicit assumptions, highlights key health indicators, and determines the geometric progression and control measures of the disease. The present developed models will allow readers to extrapolate the exact reason for the outbreak and pave the way for scientific information on vaccine trials and socioeconomic, psychological, and disease burden worldwide. These advanced techniques of modeling and their applications are in greater need than ever for effective connection between mathematicians, statisticians, epidemiologists, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers for making appropriate decisions at the right time. With the advent of emerging health science, all models are demonstrated with real-life data sets and provided with illustrations and eye-catching graphs and diagrams so that the readers can easily understand the concept of COVID-19 pandemic interventions and their control measures, and their impact. Features Addresses all aspects of mitigation/control measures, estimation of transmission rate, economic impact assessment, genetic complexity of COVID-19, herd immunity, and various methods, including newer mathematical, statistical, and epidemiological models in the analysis of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak Covers the application of innovative, advanced statistical and epidemiological models and demonstrates possible solutions toward supportive treatment aspects of COVID-19 and its control measures Includes models that can easily be followed in formulating the mathematical derivations and key points Supplemented with ample illustrations, images, diagrams, and figures This book is aimed at postgraduate students studying medicine and healthcare, mathematics, and statistical information. Researchers will also find this book very helpful.
