Critics Review
Review from previous edition ‘I am a student of the Masters in Public Health. I just wanted to let you know that I have really enjoyed the classes you taught as well as the book that you’ve written (the oxford handbook of medical statistics). I found the book a breath of fresh air when revising for my exams- the explanations so clear and concise, straight to the point. Statistics really do make sense when explained like this. Thank you for providing such a useful tool.’ * Alicia Rosello, King’s College London *
