- Includes new topics on Rates and Poisson regression, Generalised linear models, Explanatory variables in statistical models and Regression models for clustered data.
- Has an accompanying website http://www.medstatsaag.com/containing supplementary material including multiple choice questions (MCQs) with annotated answers for self-assessment
