Preface
The importance of learning biostatistics has been growing very fast due to its increasing usage in addressing challenges in life sciences – in particular biomedical and biological sciences. There are challenges, both old and new, in nature, mostly attributable to interactive developments in the fields of life sciences, statistics, and computer science. The developments in statistics and biostatistics have been complementary to each other, biostatistics being focused to address the challenges in the field of biomedical sciences including its close links with epidemiology, health, biological science, and other life sciences. Despite the focus on biomedical-related problems, the need for addressing important issues of concern in the life science problems has been the source of some major developments in the theory of statistics. The current trend in the development of data science indicates that biostatistics will be in greater demand in the future. The compelling motivation behind writing this book stemmed from our long experience of teaching the foundation cou
