The authors provide descriptions of select elementary statistical methods that are traditionally used to analyze biomarker data with a focus on the proper application of each method, including necessary assumptions, software recommendations, and proper interpretation of computer output. In addition, the book discusses frequently encountered challenges in analyzing biomarker data and how to deal with them, methods for the quality assessment of biomarkers, and biomarker study designs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovering a broad range of statistical methods that have been used to analyze biomarker data in published research studies, \u003ci\u003eAnalysis of Biomarker Data: A Practical Guide\u003c\/i\u003e also features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA greater emphasis on the application of methods as opposed to the underlying statistical and mathematical theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe use of SAS®, R, and other software throughout to illustrate the presented calculations for each example\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerous exercises based on real-world data as well as solutions to the problems to aid in reader comprehension\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe principles of good research study design and the methods for assessing the quality of a newly proposed biomarker\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA companion website that includes a software appendix with multiple types of software and complete data sets from the book’s examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnalysis of Biomarker Data: A Practical Guide \u003c\/i\u003eis an ideal upper-undergraduate and graduate-level textbook for courses in the biological or environmental sciences.
