Excerpt

This chapter presents an overview of data analysis for health data. We give a brief introduction to some of the most common methods for data analysis of health care data, focusing on choosing appropriate methodology for different types of study objectives, and on presentation and the interpretation of data analysis generated from health data. We will provide an overview of three very powerful analysis methods: linear regression, logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, which provide the foundation for most data analysis conducted in clinical studies.
