From a Former Student of Dr. Rosner at Harvard by CrimsonIV (Boston, MA)

Dr. Rosner's book tends to be excessively wordy and somewhat of an enigma of explanations when a simple step by step explanation of multiple derivatives of the same calculation would be much more helpful to students. The book tends to give a perspective on one specific means of deriving a problem as an example, instead of issue multiple different avenues of problems involving the same equation. The upside to the issue is that the book does contain answers to many of the chapter questions (answers located in the back). (NOTE: Unfortunately, his book is of very little, if any, help if you are taking his class, so consider ordering an additional guide to help you through it.)

Its a text for biostatistics. Its fine but could use more 2X2 tables to demonstrate basics.

A book to keep for reference by M. Coyne

I used the book for an introductory course at U. of Maryland and I found myself to come back to this book over again to review the materials and concept. As I go on to learn more about statistics used in data mining of genomic data or reading science papers regarding gene mapping stochastic methods, I find myself go back to this book for reference and review the concepts; sometimes going back reading the concept, I learn something new that I did not understand before. I also find the flow charts that specifies the conditions and assumptions in the book extremely helpful. Also, many comments that the author gives in data analysis are valuable. Thus far this is the statistics book that I use for reference. I'm hoping that the author will write books in genomics or gene mapping.

I too had to purchase this as the official text for my course. I found it very difficult to follow concepts in this book and I had just finished a college intro to statistics course. In the end, I had to rely completely on my professor's explanations.
