Review of "Statistical Analysis and Data Display" by Richard M. Heiberger and Burt Holland

Statistical analysis methods and applications have traditionally placed relatively little attention to the graphical visualisation of data and information. Such techniques are fundamental not only for summarising the outcomes originating from statistical analyses, but also for facilitating the detection and assessment of relevant findings. Data-intensive application domains such as medical info...

Synergy between medical informatics and bioinformatics: facilitating genomic medicine for future health care

In this paper, we review the results of BIOINFOMED, a study funded by the European Commission (EC) with the purpose to analyse the different issues and challenges in the area where Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics meet. Traditionally, Medical Informatics has been focused on the intersection between computer science and clinical medicine, whereas Bioinformatics have been predominantly cent...
