Abstract

Statistics may be defined as “Methods to plan a study scientifically, collect quality data, analyze appropriately, interpret analytical results correctly and derive implications accurately.” To be more specific, all methods of gaining knowledge are essential statistics. Statistics principles remain the same regardless of the area in which it is used. However, it is differentiated by area of its use, like biostatistics, while it is used in medical sciences, business statistics in business research, and agricultural statistics in agricultural sciences. A host of literature is available on various aspects of statistics, including its varying applications, uses and misuses. The present write-up aims to briefly emphasize the need of strong biostatistics components in medical colleges in India.
