"... a very useful and well-organised manual to be used by statisticians and non-statisticians. It responds to the problems that may arise on both sides." -Journal of Applied Statistics, 2014 "... a very useful overview of the vast array of statistical tools, models and tests, which can be applied to the study of human growth and development and also to some important concepts, which are relevant to epidemiological research more generally. The code provided makes this book particularly accessible to those who are familiar with Stata or who are intending to use this software for their analysis, although the methods described could easily be implemented in other standard statistical software packages." -Corrie Macdonald-Wallis, International Journal of Epidemiology, 2014
