Abstract

Background:  Biostatistics is the most powerful subject and its tools are using to prove or disprove in the scientific field. Biostatistics is the back-bone in medical research.  In this article, I have pointed out and the main aim to explore, What is the role of biostatistics and biostatistician in the scientific research?, what are all the new techniques, methods, knowledge and skills are to be needed to solve in the newer problems.

Methods: In this short communication study, I have to try to explain the concepts of biostatistics, its techniques and applications.  A biostatistician is an expert person who applies the statistical and mathematical tools and methods to analyze the biomedical, clinical, and public health related data.  They are working in a crucial role in the deciding the study design, data accuracy, analyzing and results, and interpreting the results/findings and then give an idea/suggestion to the healthcare professionals.

Findings and Role of a Biostatistician: Biostatistics is the back-borne in medication education and its research areas.  It transforms the results in numerical to valuable results of respective studies.  There is a vast difference in between traditional statistical techniques and in the modern statistical techniques.  Because, nowadays all biostatisticians are using the recent and advanced methods like artificial intelligence, data mining, bootstrap methods, and deep learning methods in the recent studies.

Conclusion:  From this article, I have pointed out biostatisticians need in the health care settings and related field. Nevertheless, biostatisticians are trying to solve in good manner in the medical research, and help to the development of health care departments and to help to the state and central government in many ways.
