Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials: Concepts and Methodologies (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

thank you!...

I selected this text for a new doctoral level course on clinical trials based mostly on the topics covered. When we started using it, I found many errors in logical thinking. So far, one of the worst is a view that randomization satisfies some statistical assumption. It does not. Its function is to make groups similar, on the average. It is not in any way a substitute for random sampling. Separating these two random processes is basic to understanding clinical trials. I am embarrassed that I had my students purchase this book.
