520			_a"This book serves as an introduction to statistics for undergraduate and graduate students in pharmacy as well as a reference guide for professionals in various pharmacy settings. Designed specifically for non-statisticians, the text avoids heavy mathematics and concentrates on the practical application of the most commonly employed statistical tests. This edition introduces new statistical tests and includes Excel and Minitab applications for descriptive and inferential statistics"-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_a"Preface The first two editions of this book were published thirteen and eight years ago. The first edition was a fairly successful attempt to provide a practical, easy-to-read, basic statistics book for two primary audiences, those in the pharmaceutical industry and those in pharmacy practice. Reviewing the contents and current uses of the first edition, several shortcomings were identified, corrected and greatly expanded in the second edition. This third edition represents not only an update of the previous two editions, but a continuing expansion on topics relevant to both intended audiences. As described later, most of the expanded information in this third edition related to allowing statistical software to accomplish the same results as identified through hand calculations. The author has been fortunate to have taught over 100 statistics short courses since the 1999 release of the first edition. Valuable input through the learners attending these classes and new examples from these individuals have been helpful in identifying missing materials in the previous editions. In addition, the author had the opportunity to work closely with a variety of excellent statisticians. Both of these activities have helped contribute to the updating and expansions since the first book. The continuing title of the book, Basic Statistics and Pharmaceutical Statistical Applications, is probably a misnomer. The goal of the first edition was to create an elementary traditional statistical textbook to explain tests commonly seen in the literature or required to evaluate simple data sets. By expanding the contents, primarily in the second edition, the material in this edition well exceeded what would be expected in a basic statistics book. A Book for Non-Statisticians"-- _cProvided by publisher.
