Since actual datasets are employed, users deal with real-life modeling issues and situations such as handling missing values, applying variable transformations, and addressing outliers, among others. An easy-to-learn Microsoft Excel add-in (Predictive MinerXL) and all applicable datasets are available for free on an associated Web site\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn accessible and practical approach to the design and analysis of experiments in the health sciences\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesign and Analysis of Experiments in the Health Sciences\u003c\/i\u003e provides a balanced presentation of design and analysis issues relating to data in the health sciences and emphasizes new research areas, the crucial topic of clinical trials, and state-of-the- art applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdvancing the idea that design drives analysis and analysis reveals the design, the book clearly explains how to apply design and analysis principles in animal, human, and laboratory experiments while illustrating topics with applications and examples from randomized clinical trials and the modern topic of microarrays.
