To get the most out of this book
To get the most out of this book, you don’t need any previous knowledge about biostatistics or Python. What’s most important is to install Python, Spyder IDE, and Jupyter Notebook using the Anaconda navigator. Other ways of installation may also work but will probably be more complex.
