Logic and critical thinking in the biomedical sciences : volume two: deductions based upon quantitative data

---

Logic and Critical Thinking in the Biomedical Sciences: Volume I: Deductions Based upon Simple Observations provides biomedical students and scientists with a repertoire of deductive non-mathematical methods, that helps them draw useful inferences from their own data. The past decade has witnessed a huge increase in the number of books describing advanced mathematical methods for data analysis; however, experienced scientists know that such methods lead to erroneous conclusions unless the researchers have a deep understanding of what the data is trying to say. Individuals with keen observational skills, regardless of their mathematical training, are in the best position to draw correct inferences from the data, and to guide the subsequent implementation of robust, mathematical analyses. The first volume, Deductions Based Upon Simple Observations, invites readers to linger over a collection of common observations, and to see what inferences can be drawn, when one applies a bit of deductive logic. It demonstrates that if we just think about what we observe, it is possible often to discover profound biomedical insights. It is also possible, in some cases, to use logical analysis to correct old misconceptions that were drawn hastily or without enough introspection. This book is a valuable source for several members of biomedical field who need to understand better how to make sense of all the medical data available currently
