Special Issue on Medical Studies in Statistics
Medical statistics
deals with applications of statistics to medicine and the health sciences,
including epidemiology, public health, forensic medicine, and clinical
research. Medical statistics has been a recognized branch of statistics in the
UK for more than 40 years but the term does not appear to have come into
general use in North America, where the wider term 'biostatistics' is more
commonly used. However, "biostatistics" more commonly connotes all
applications of statistics to biology.
Constantly newer
and newer statistical ratios are being developed to help measure the changing
patterns of various disease and health conditions. Addition of HIV health
indicators, counting radiation doses, forensic criminal investigation ratios
are among the new ones. As such Medical Statistics remains a constantly
changing field.
