Development of Biostatistics: From Past to Future

Biostatistics which is the application of statistics in field health and biology; provides powerful tools for creating questions, designing studies, developing measurements, analyzing data has an important place determining efficacy safety products such as drugs vaccines. The impact statistical sciences on medical biological increased rapidly during last few decades. Clinicians need to understand well enough follow up evaluate empirical studies that provide evidence base clinical practice. Recent advances biomedical research have created both new challenges opportunities statisticians scientists. Big analytics, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, causal inference, other resources inspire scientists develop modern methods innovative inference procedures. Therefore philosophies models prediction, graphical chain random effects models, faster computers clever algorithms integration maximization are needed. Without adequate investment biostatistics, all at a significant risk “drowning data, but starving knowledge”.
