Dear allstatters, I have received the folloing query. I've recommended Rabe-Hesketh and Everitt. Do you have any other ideas? Please reply to me and I'll circulate replies to the list. The query: I've always wanted a book that I could go through on my own that would walk me though some example clinical trial analyses that I could perform on my computer. I learn by doing and as such want to practice things like doing Cox proportional hazards analysis so that I can lock down all the concepts. I was hoping there was a textbook around somewhere that came with a statistics package in it that would teach concepts and then provide examples that one could go through on the computer using the provided software. Do you know of such a book/software practice combination? Martin -- *************************************************** J.
