Features: This textbook consists of 26 chapters. Chapters 2, 3, 15, and 16 focus on the content related to statistical design. The first two chapters briefly introduce the basic concepts of experimental research design and observational research design, helping students establish a fundamental understanding of statistical research design from the outset. The textbook places specific statistical design methods in Chapter 15 for detailed discussion and introduces sample estimation methods separately in Chapter 16. Chapters 4 and 18 cover statistical description, with the former introducing basic statistical descriptive methods and the latter focusing on multivariate statistical description. Chapter 5 discusses the probability distribution of random variables, which is a highly important fundamental concept in statistics and the theoretical basis for statistical inference. Chapter 6 covers parameter estimation, while Chapters 7 to 11 introduce commonly used hypothesis testing methods. Chapters 12 and 13 discuss linear correlation and regression. The subsequent chapters primarily introduce clinical measurement error evaluation, diagnostic tests, multivariate analysis methods, and more. Chapter 26 introduces the general principles and methods of data processing.
