Bioinformatics Biostatistics and Biometrics: A Statistical Journey
Received Date: June 09, 2022; Published Date: July 13, 2022
Abstract
Although bioinformatics, biometrics, and biostatistics all sound similar, each field has its own set of peculiarities. Even within a field, what separates one field from another might be a source of confusion. That’s hardly unexpected, given how subtle the distinction might be and how the meaning of a term changes over time. It’s also not difficult for people to switch labels. A biostatistician may refer to themselves as a bioinformatician, and vice versa. I imagine that others outside the field are perplexed by the lack of consistency.
