The current book was written for various reasons: 1. To review the basic principles of statistical testing which tends to be increasingly forgotten in the current computer era. 2. To serve as a primer for nervous investigators who would like to perform their own data analyses but feel inexpert to do so. 3. To make investigators better understand what they are doing, when analyzing clinical data. 4. To facilitate data analysis by use of a number of rapid pocket calculator methods. 5. As a primer for those who wish to master more advanced statistical methods. More advanced methods are reviewed by the same authors in the books “SPSS for Starters” 2010, “Statistics Applied to Clinical Trials” 4th edition, 2009, Statistics Applied to Clinical Trials: Self-Assessment Book, 2002, all of them edited by Springer, Dordrecht. these books closely fit and complement the format and contents of the current book. The current book is very condensed, but this should be threshold lowering to readers. As a consequence, however, the theoretical background of the methods described are not sufficiently explained in the text. Extensive theoretical information is also given in the above mentioned books from the same authors.
