Statistics for Health Policy and Administration Using Microsoft Excel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For people like me. Even if you have had no exposure to Excell before, by the end of the book, you will be able to complete difficult statistical analysis using the excell application. This include linear regression and matrix math. Dr. Veney uses real world health care examples to set up each task, and gives very good step by step instructions. In addition, the explainations given are written in basic english, and it often feels as if you are having a conversation with the author. Obviously statistics is still a difficult task for many, but this book does make it easier. I used it for class, and then found I actually pulled it out frequently during my work (in public health) to set up certain data and analyze them properly. My managers and bosses have always been surprised at my ability to compute- but really I am just using the set ups in this book.
