Role of computer in solving biostatistical problem
Answers
Computer application in biology is a complex blend of two distinct scientific disciplines – computer technology and life science. The field of biology is invariably depended on statistics too giving rise to biostatistics. The amalgam of computer applications and biostatistics in combination with several scientific fields gave birth to an interdisciplinary field called bioinformatics, which reaches the biological predictions in an in silico way in combination with statistics. Advancement of computer technology has led a path for biological researches giant leap. Progress in the basic functionalities of a computer like store, process, retrieve and reuse, has led to well a synchronized interplay of biology, computing technology and statistics. Biological data is extensive and heterogeneous ranging from text based genome sequences, geometric and spatial information to patterns, large images and simulation. Such a magnitude of information has to be stored, processed, retrieved and reused using proper application software. Internet development, on the other side has catalyzed the interplay by transmission of information. Combination of biostatistics has also added and amplified the elemental aspects of the biological fields like genomics and proteomics, which basically generate enormous amounts of redundant data. Applying computer-intensive biostatistician methods has enabled to process the biological data into information
