Abstract

Background:  Biostatistics is the important subject to all science subjects to prove the new finding in the various areas.  Its tools are very much useful in the research of all types of sciences both medical and non-medical subjects.  In this article, I discussed about Biostatistics concepts, its importance, available courses in that and about the teaching institutions in India.

Methods:  In this, I described about Biostatistics tools, methods, and its applications.  It is the back bone to all the science subjects.  Without statistics results on one must prove their finding in the science areas/field.  Biostatistics concepts and applications are enormous in the research world.  Any specialty researchers have to prove their new scientific finding with the help of statistical tools and applications.  This subject is teaching very well in many Government and Private Institutions in India with a nominal fee.

Observations:  Biostatistical concepts, tools and its applications are vast in the scientific world.  It has its same field name where it should be used in their area.  ie., when one can use statistical tools in the medicine then, it would be called as “Medical Statistics”.  Similarly, one can use the statistical tools in economics then it will be called as “Econometrics”.

Conclusion:  From this article, I have revealed that the Biostatistical concepts, tools, and its applications are very important and useful in all scientific areas and its research.
