Volume 1 Methods and Applications of Statistics in Clinical Trials, Volume 1: Concepts, Principles, Trials, and Designs successfully upholds the goals of the Wiley Encyclopedia of Clinical Trials by combining both previously-published and newly developed contributions written by over 100 leading academics, researchers, and practitioners in a comprehensive, approachable format. The result is a succinct reference that unveils modern, cutting-edge approaches to acquiring and understanding data throughout the various stages of clinical trial design and analysis. Volume 2Featuring newly-written material as well as established literature from the Wiley Encyclopedia of Clinical Trials, this book provides a timely and authoritative review of techniques for planning clinical trials as well as the necessary inferential methods for analyzing collected data. This comprehensive volume features established and newly-written literature on the key statistical principles and concepts for designing modern-day clinical trials, such as hazard ratio, flexible designs, confounding, covariates, missing data, and longitudinal data. Examples of ongoing, cutting-edge clinical trials from today's research such as early cancer & heart disease, mother to child human immunodeficiency virus transmission, women's health initiative dietary, and AIDS clinical trials are also explored.
