Review

"This book is well organized and logically developed, such that concepts are covered in broad strokes, revisited in greater detail, and connected together. ...this is a very thorough treatise of the spectrum of methods that collectively define genetic epidemiology." — Annals of Epidemiology


"...Statistical Methods in Genetic Epidemiology is a most welcome volume that all readers...should consider having on their bookshelves. It seems likely that this will serve as a classic text for many years to come." — American Journal of Human Genetics


"This is a clear succinct tour of the analytical side of genetic epidemiology. There is a suitable balance of biology and statistical details and the text is well pitched for its target audience of graduate epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and human geneticists." — International Journal of Epidemiology
