Learning predictive biostatistics and their uses in different areas of life science

Predictive biostatistics is a field that is used by both biologists and biostatisticians to make predictions or forecasts about biological phenomena, specifically in the context of healthcare and life science.

One of the focuses of predictive biostatistics is making predictions about future events or outcomes based on patterns and trends observed in historical data. However, predictive biostatistics is not just about making predictions on future events. It specializes in understanding the nature of associations between variables, such as Can I predict biological variable B if I know biological variable A?

Predictive analysis is one of the most important areas in biostatistics. It helps us find associations between variables and potentially predict new outcomes in areas such as biomedicine, the pharmaceutical industry, drug discovery, and public health.
