Association of statistics with biostatistics Research

Abstract

The history of the beginning of the development of the theory of statistics had been lost in the dust of antiquity.1–5 It has been found that statistics in ancient times was used by the governments in keeping records related to administrative matters like birth, death, population, etc. while it has been found that John Grant is the first man to make study on birth, death, expectation of life etc. from statistical point of view in the 17th century.6 Statistics now has been found to be a major player in playing the role of understanding various phenomena in almost every branch of science. At the current stage of human civilization, statistics has become an unavoidable and essential analytical tool for scientific research.7,8 The discipline of biostatistics9–15 has been developed for the interest of research in bioscience, life science, biology and some allied fields.
