The Questions and Answers Book on Statistics for Clinical
Researchers: 262 questions for deeper statistical learning
through questioning
Sinopsis :
There are three important questions for the readers to
understand the motivation for this book: Why was this book
written? What is this book about? And how should this book be
read?Why was this book written?We first need to understand
the basic learning principles to answer this question. If we can
summarize in one sentence, it would be: learning comes from
within. It means that we learn what is important to us. We learn
what we are curious about. We learn when we connect the
knowledge. Taken all together, you can agree with us that the

questions are fundamental as they guide our learning. Let me
make an analogy here. Suppose you are assembling a jigsaw
puzzle. What is the best way? If someone gives you a random
piece or asks for a certain piece (for instance, a piece for the
corner that is dark blue as this is for the sky). The answer is
the latter. And this is how the building of our knowledge works.
When we are given random pieces of knowledge, they do not
attach to our main knowledge, and we quickly forget about
them. But when we receive the piece we are looking for, our
knowledge and understanding increase significantly. This is
the goal of writing this book, to help you find the pieces you
need to build your knowledge of statistics. Here the reader
could say: but the readers should send their questions in this
case.Our solution was then to analyze thousands of questions
we receive every year from our students to learn what our
students were asking.What is this book about?This book is to
help you to create your knowledge in statistics. Given we have
students with a diverse background in statistics: from little to
no knowledge of statistics to more advanced knowledge, the
questions we created are based on all these levels. We hope
to cover most of the questions you may have on the topics we
discuss here. Is this a good book if this is your first encounter
with statistics? Yes. But, in this case, we would also
recommend using this book along with your course of statistics
or another textbook. Though for some readers beginning in
this field, this book alone may be enough to learn more. We
choose to answer the questions in a simple way to be
reachable no matter your level of expertise. We aimed to offer
guidance through simplicity, refined ideas, creating examples,
and graphics. In that sense, we hope you benefit from our
explanations and engage you in a learning journey with this
book.How to use this book?This book answers real questions
that we have received based on our experience with about 15
years of the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research

program. Among the topics, we covered the introduction to
statistics, basics of clinical research, relevant statistical
concepts, parametric and non-parametric tests, sample size
calculation, meta-analysis and subgroup analysis, linear and
logistic regression, missing data, and covariate adjustment,
survival analysis, and lastly, observational studies and
confounding. We selected carefully and included the most
common and relevant questions from the Statistical modules.
Furthermore, each chapter contains a short introduction and
review of the topic. This book will provide you with the skills to
understand statistics, apply them to your research and daily
practice, and design a proper study.
