Editorials
From the Publisher
"The book's real selling point is the Metanalysis program which can use odds ratios and absolute risk differences...There are nine different options for plotting graphs, and the program produces very neat Galbraith plots which can be difficult to create elsewhere...
...People wanting to use an easy program for meta-analysis or to revise the methods of meta-analysis could consider buying this book."
- Royal Statistical Society, Series A, Vol 168(4) Oct 05.
"This is a concise and easy-to-read book written by a clinician so it takes into account problems faced by non-statisticians when dealing with tools such as meta-analysis...I would recommend it to all statisticians or clinicians who aspire to be/are involved in clinical research. In addition, it will be a useful book for any health sciences library."
- Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 33, No. 6, Jul 06
"The main selling point has to be the meta-analysis program supplied on CD...
...The program itself is easy to install and run...
...Recommend this handbook to those wanting a quick entry into the world of meta-analysis."
