9. 9 1.1 What is Biostatistics? biologystatistics biometry biometricsBiostatistics (a hybrid word made from biology and statistics ; sometimes referred to as biometry or biometrics ) statistics biologyThe application of statistics to a wide range of topics in biology. (Wikipedia)

10. 10 Cont ’ d The science of biostatistics : the design of biological experiments –(1) the design of biological experiments, especially in medicine and agriculture; collectionsummarization analysis of data –(2) the collection, summarization, and analysis of data from those experiments; interpretation inference ( 推論 ) –(3) the interpretation of, and inference ( 推論 ) from, the results.

11. 11 1.2 Educational programs postgraduateAlmost all educational programs in biostatistics are at postgraduate ( 學 士後 ) level. [For example, many schools of law or medicine in US.] public healthThey are most often found in schools of public health ( 公共衛生 ), affiliated with schools of medicine, agriculture or as a focus of application in departments of statistics.

12. 12 Cont ’ d mathematicsstatistics epidemiologyIn the United States, while several universities have dedicated biostatistics departments, many other top-tier universities integrate biostatistics faculty into mathematics, statistics or other departments, such as epidemiology ( 流行病學 ).

13. 13 Cont ’ d bioinformatics ( 生物資訊 ) computational biology ( 計算生物 學 )Relatively new biostatistics departments have been founded with a focus on bioinformatics ( 生物資訊 ) and computational biology ( 計算生物 學 ) epidemiological studies clinical trials ( 臨床試驗 )Older departments, typically affiliated with schools of public health, will have more traditional lines of research involving epidemiological studies and clinical trials ( 臨床試驗 ).

15. 15 設立目的 提高學術研究，發展統計科學應用於 臨床 醫學研究 中所產生之資訊研究範疇，如： 臨床試驗 、 臨床流行病學 、 藥物經濟 學 及 遺傳流行病學 。 解決因 更多更大量的資料 產生所帶來之 科學研究課題，應用生物統計之研究服務 更應有 電腦化、直接化及大量化之處 理並以符合國際標準為原則 。

16. 研究教學 建立「臨床試驗研究學程」制度 大型 資料庫之處理 發展應用生物統計之理論依據及大型 資料庫之處理 生物 資訊資料處理 結合生物統計及資訊演譯法發展生物 資訊資料處理 提昇校內生醫統計與資料分析專業教 育 舉辦統計諮詢課程訓練 16
