In addition, some graduates also enter the financial and insurance industries. Although biometrics is not the core department in the company, any company with a large amount of medical/biological data to process needs a stable team to support it, so despite the industry downturn, unless the company goes bankrupt. At present, the demand of biostatistics is still greater than the supply, although it begins to balance the supply and demand. Another advantage of biostatistics graduates' employment is that they can work in hospitals or scientific research institutions.
fundamental function
1, which provides a scientific method for sorting out and analyzing data.
We must grasp the basic situation in any work, so as to have a clear aim and improve the quality of work. In biological research, it is no exception. It is necessary to collect data in a planned way and make reasonable statistical analysis. The data obtained through investigation, after processing and sorting, can be summarized to guide production.
2. Judge the reliability of the test results
Due to the existence of test errors, the data obtained from the test must be analyzed by statistical methods in order to obtain reliable conclusions.
3. Provide the principles and methods of experimental design.
To do any investigation or experiment, there must be careful planning and reasonable experimental design in advance, which is the most important link to determine the success or failure of scientific research. It can use less manpower, material resources and time to obtain rich and reliable information to the maximum extent and minimize the experimental error.
