'To summarize, this is a different kind of book, atypical of other statistics books. It is suitable for anyone wanting to refresh or refine their statistical understanding of research and decision-making. The reader should be able to breeze through the chapters quickly if they choose to. Others would find it so entertaining that they would likely read it over and over. Although it is a fun and enlightening read on a relatively dry subject like statistics, some chapters probably would still give you a dry feeling. It was a fun read, nevertheless.' - Enayet Raheem, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics, 72, 2021

Author Information

Mitchell Maltenfort lurched into academic life as a computational neurobiologist before drifting into the less recherché field of biostatistics. He knows just enough to make a complete hash out of things and is creative enough to salvage them afterwards. In his brutish culture, this tradition is known as ""larnin'."" For tax purposes, he is employed as a biostatistician at CHOP, where he has generated risk scores for hospitalization, analyzed diagnostic variations among clinics, compared international trends in childhood mortality, and evaluated patient-reported outcome scores. Antonia Chen is the Director of Research for Arthroplasty Services at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. She is a past president of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and is an active collaborator in research studies on topics including infection outcomes and opioid use. She often travels armed with a small and extremely cute dog named Lily who is often the highlight of research meetings where Lily is in attendance. Camilo Restrepo is the Associate Director for Research at the Rothman Institute. He is known informally at RI as ""Doctor Data.""
