Comment from the Stata technical group

Biostatistics and Computer-based Analysis of Health Data Using Stata, by Christophe Lalanne and Mounir Mesbah, aims to help researchers in health fields learn Stata quickly. To this end, the authors demonstrate many types of analysis commonly used in health fields, and they discuss the corresponding Stata commands and their results.

The authors first introduce Stata and data management commands that anyone using Stata will want to be familiar with. Then the authors discuss basic and advanced statistical methods, including summary statistics, tests of means and proportions, correlation, ANOVA, linear regression, epidemiological tables for case–control and cross-sectional studies, logistic regression, and survival analysis. The given examples of these methods are based on clinical trials and epidemiological studies that will be of interest to researchers in health fields.
