Biostatistics is a specialized branch of statistics that applies statistical methods to data from biological and health-related fields. It involves designing biological experiments, especially in medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, and fishery; collecting, summarizing, and analyzing data from these experiments; and interpreting and making inferences from the results. This field is fundamental to advancing our understanding of health and disease, developing new treatments, and informing public health policies.
