multivariable analysis. lt will become a classic.The book
is thoughtful, thorough, organized, clear, and readable.
The tables and figures are superb." -Herbert L Kayne,
Boston University School of Pub/ic Health
For physicians, nurses, and all others who confront
increasingly complex statistical methods in research,
Dr. Alvan R. Feinstein offers welcome help. He has
written a highly readable explanation of the uses and
signlflcance of multivariable analysis in medica! and life
science research.
A physician with wide experience in both clínica! work
and research, Dr. Feinstein succeeds in demystifying
arcane vocabulary and unfamiliar mathematics. His
·book is a roadmap taking the reader from the basics of
univariate and bivariate statistics, through methods of
converting information into data coded for computers,
and on to multivariable statistics. Dr. Feinstein focuses
on four methods common in the medica! literature:
multiple linear regression, multiple logistic regression,
discriminant function analysis, and Cox regression. He
also discusses such new methods as recursive parti-
tioning and conjunctive consolidation. Clarifying exam-
ples and illustrations abound, and an accompanying
floppy disk helps to facilitate leaming.
"This book represents a monumental achievement, filling
án egregious void in the medical literature. lt will be
invaluable for our faculty as a reference teXt, and 1
believe that it will become the standard reference for
clinical researc;h."-Mory Charlson, The New York
Hospital-Corne/1 Medica/ Center
Alvan R. Feinstein, M.O.. is Sterling Professor of
Medicine and Epidemiology at Yale University School of
Medicine. Co-editor of the Journal of Clinical Epidemiol-
ogy, he has written numerous articles and books,
including Clinimetrics, published by Yale University Press.
