Abstract

Statistical analysis is an integral component of any clinical study. The objective of the present work was to assist clinicians in understanding various methods of statistical treatment of medical findings without going into details of mathematical computation. The most strongly sought for and popular analytical procedures are considered in application to clinical and experimental medical research. Part 1 of this communication is focused on descriptive statistics and methods of univariate statistical analysis. Part II will be concerned with the analysis of survivorship and multivariate statistics.
