    "This work by Dr. Suchmacher and Dr. Geller is bound to become a classic and should be readily available on the desk, shelf and on line."

    Salin Dahlben, Harvard University, Clinical Assistant Professor in Psychiatry, Tufts University

    "Dr. Suchmacher and Dr. Geller are experienced researchers and writers in the clinical research field, who were able to fathom the often confusing realm of Statistics applied to biological sciences, and to come back with a pragmatic study proposal for interested medical students and healthcare professionals […] In my opinion, 'Practical Biostatistics' will undoubtedly be welcomed as one of the books designed to bring medical students and healthcare professionals alike, closer to a better understanding of this inescapable issue."

    Spyros G.E. Mezitis, Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, The New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill, Cornell Medical Center

    "I believe the result of [Drs. Suchmacher and Geller’s] efforts will prove useful for many medical students and researchers, who must thrive in an era when Biostatistics is destined to be an ever present matter."

    Allan E. Rubenstein, Clinical Professor of Neurology, The Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Langone Medical Center, School of Medicine, New York University

    Practical Biostatistics is destined to be a companion book for health professionals and graduation students who face the challenge of assimilating concepts on statistics."
