Full Description

This book aims not only to introduce fundamental biostatistics topics but to explain them through R-project (R-studio). 'R' is perhaps the more used statistical software in the medical field. 

It is structured as a 'scientific journey' and comes with a sham yet realistic dataset ready to be analysed.  The dataset along with the R-script can be downloaded from GitHub, and each chapter has dedicated scripts that will enhance the understanding of  R and biostatistics. 



Specifically designed for whoever works in the medical-academic environment, this practical guide will help the reader to become familiar with basic to advanced biostatistics topic (descriptive - analysis / regression etc.) and to gain solid knowledge of R.
