R Applied to Medical Statistics (English Edition)

This volume is intended to be the next logical step for medical professionals working with statistical tests. Rather than an attempt to reiterate the content of a statistics textbook, this is a practical guide to the analysis of large data sets using the freely available, Industry Standard 'R' software suite.

In contrast to commercially available software packages, 'R' is open source and available as free software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License. It is available for a wide variety of platforms including FreeBSD, Linux, Windows and Mac OSX.
