" . . . this book provides a very useful overview of the statistical methods used in the analysis of clinical trials, along with their implementations. This will particularly help clinical practitioners to apply these methodologies in their own scientific problems . . . I would really like to thank the authors, D. Chen, K. E. Peace and P. Zhang, for such a nice readymade reference for clinical trial analysis, with very interesting real data illustrations."~Abhik Ghosh, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics
