Books about Salsburg from Amazon.com

Science is inextricably linked with mathematics Statistician David Salsburg examines the development of ever-more-powerful statistical methods for determining scientific truth in The Lady Tasting Tea, a series of historical and biographical sketches that illuminate without alienating the mathematically timid. Salsburg, who has worked in academia and industry and has met many of the major players he writes about, shares his subjects' enthusiasm for problem solving and deep thinking. His sense of excitement drives the prose, but never at the expense of the reader; if anything, the author has taken pains to eliminate esoterica and ephemera from his stories. This might frustrate a few number-head readers, but the abundant notes and references should keep them happy in the library for weeks after reading the book.

Ultimately, the various tales herein are unified in a single theme: the conversion of science from observational natural history into rigorously defined statistical models of data collection and analysis. This process, usually only implicit in studies of scientific methods and history, is especially important now that we seem to be reaching the point of diminishing returns and are looking for new paradigms of scientific investigation. The Lady Tasting Tea will appeal to a broad audience of scientifically literate readers, reminding them of the humanity underlying the work. --Rob Lightner.

This thought-provoking book discusses the use of statistics in randomized clinical trials. Its aim is two-fold: firstly, it presents a clear account of the design and analysis of experiments in this setting which stresses the foundational issues involved. Secondly, the book seeks to develop the specific tools of analysis which can be derived from Neyman's model of restricted tests. The book is based on the author's many years of experience of clinical trials. Throughout, examples are used from a variety of types of study. As a result, all statisticians and research scientists who work on clinical trials will find this presentation clear and accessible, and very relevant to their own research interests..
