Mike’s Biostatistics Book

Mike’s Biostatistics Book is an eBook to support my Biostatistics course at Chaminade University (since 2009). The course had its origins at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and was inspired by a course of the same name taught by Don Price (now at UNLV). The progression and structure of the book follows my presentation in the course. The companion site, Mike’s Workbook for Biostatistics, provides homework and projects to learn-by-doing biostatistics.

These lecture notes are a work in progress; some chapters are complete, others, not so much. With each semester I add to and rewrite content. This draft is at the level of version 0.99; while I’m in the process of adding content, most of the material is present in this version. Why not round to one? Let’s introduce our first statistics concept — precision. Because I’m not following a proscribed version control scheme e.g., Git, there can be no claim that “0.99” is precise — that is, exact to the hundredths. We may as well then refer to this release of the book as version 1+.
