| This book gives an overview on recent development on biostatistics and bioinformatics. It is written by active researchers in these emerging areas. It is intended to give graduate students and new researchers an idea where the frontiers of biostatistics and bioinformatics are, to learn common techniques in use so that they can advance the fields via developing new techniques and new results. It is also intended to provide extensive references so that researchers can follow the threads to learn more comprehensively what the literature is and to conduct their own research. It covers three important topics in biostatistics: Analysis of Survival and Longitudinal Data, Statistical Methods for Epidemiology, and Bioinformatics, where statistics is still advancing rapidly today. |
