biostatistics - need your advice (Jul/22/2006 )

goood morning....

i'm new to the field of biostatistics....

i search google for topics on this field and found some..

if u know any good educational websites for learning the basics of biost. or good tutorials....PLZ inform me,

thanx in advance..

yeeeee...

14 readers and no one have an idea!

What do you mean by biostatistics? To someone like me that covers alot of things including machine learning to pearson correlation coefficient. For basic stats avoid the net and get yourself a math book from the local library read it and focus on areas as an when you need to.

Check out math world (google)
science world (linked to math world again google)
Mastering Algorithms in Perl (book including lots of fun stuff)
wikipedia

Try this link:

Though I'm not sure what you're exactly looking for - the above link covers logarithms, Bayesian theory, odds-ratio, weighted comparisons of means, etc.

Hope this helps

hi Strawberry,

i suggest you to begin with the Really Easy Statistics Site:
http://helios.bto.ed.ac.uk/bto/statistics/tress1.html

i have learnt a lot of notions very usefull for every-day lab statitics

then you should read the manual of any of statistics software like the Statistica Manual (i can send you by PM;)

Biostatistics is just statistics, except that the numbers you're applying statistical tests to are derived from a biological source...
