by John Maynard Keynes (Author)There is, first of all, the distinction between that part of our belief which is rational and that part which is not. If a man believes something for a reason which is preposterous or for no reason at all, and what he believes turns out to be true for some reason not known to him, he cannot be said to believe it rationally, although he believes it and it is in fact true. On the other hand, a man may rationally believe a proposition to be probable, when it is in ...

Validating Clinical Trial Data Reporting with SAS - Paperback

$74.81

by Carol I. Matthews (Author), Brian C. Shilling (Author)Validation is a critical component to programming clinical trial analysis.
