Biostatistics_Second Edition_A Guide to Design Analysis and Discovery by Forthofer, N.R et al
Biostatistics is the application of statistical methods to the biological and life sciences. Statistical methods include procedures for (1) designing studies, (2) collecting data, (3) presenting and summarizing data, and (4) drawing inferences from sample data to a population. These methods are particularly useful in studies involving humans because the processes under investigation are often very complex. Because of this complexity, a large number of measurements on the study subjects are usually made to aid the discovery process; however, this complexity and abundance of data often mask the underlying processes. It is in these situations that the systematic methods found in statistics help create order out of the seeming chaos. These are some of the areas of application:
