Methods in Biomedical Informatics

A pragmatic approach

Seeking to cross the bridge between overview, theory, and practice, this book incorporates both methodological approaches and their potential application in the domains associated with biomedical informatics.

The multi-contributor book is useful for (1) those coming from a domain seeking biomedical informatics approaches for addressing specific needs; and, (2) current biomedical informaticians seeking a foundational background for methods that might be utilized in practical scenarios germane to their on-going research.

A unique characteristic of the text will thus be the balance between foundational coverage of core topics in biomedical informatics with practical "in-the-trenches" scenarios.
