Understanding Biological Variables
In this chapter, you will learn how to assess biological variables, as well as different biological aspects of biostatistics and one very important aspect, which is combining biological and statistical knowledge. You will learn about biological variables and experiments such as those in biotech research and clinical trials. You will learn about biological confounders and latent variables in biology research. Thus, you will be exploring the context and uncertainties around specific clinical and biological domains in clinical research. Finally, you will see how to validate biological data, which is one of the most important parts of biostatistics.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding biological variables and experiments
- Confounders and latent variables in biology research
- Validating biological data
Understanding biological variables can be as important as understanding statistical...
