This book aims to compile typical fundamental-to-advanced statistical methods to be used for health data sciences. Although the book promotes applications to health and health-related data, the models in the book can be used to analyze any kind of data. The data are analyzed with the commonly used statistical software of R/SAS (with online supplementary on SPSS/Stata). The data and computing... Read more
