Suggestions for learning statistics

[Totem]

Hi everyone-
While I wait for radonc interviews to come in, I'd really like to improve my understanding of statistics to better conduct research and evaluate scientific articles. The problem is so far I haven't been able to find a good resource. Is there a book, website, etc. that anyone can recommend? Thanks

Good question. I personally found stats curriculum in med. school and radonc residency to be inadequate for training to become an oncologist. Here are some suggestions from a trusted statistician:

1. Schaum's Outline of Probability and Statistics, 3rd Ed. [ $12, some typos]
2. Primer of Biostatistics, Seventh Edition (Primer of Biostatistics (Glantz)(Paperback)) ($52)
3. Epidemiology and Biostatistics: An Introduction to Clinical Research(Kestenbaum, $46)
4. Intuitive Biostatistics: A Nonmathematical Guide to Statistical Thinking (Motulski, $58)
