Satake presents a textbook on the kind of statistics needed for evidence based medical practice, to augment the standard approaches to statistics taught in medicine curricula. His topics include descriptive methods: measures of central tendency and variability, the foundation of standard normal distribution: describing individual scores, hypothesis testing: one sample case for the mean, making inferences about population proportions, categorical analysis, and methods that are not the most widely used but are important to know for determining practical and personal significance.
