Biostatistics in Medical Study with R

Medical data is often complex and multifaceted, encompassing various information such as patient demographics, clinical measurements, medical histories, diagnostic tests, treatment plans, and outcomes. It often presents challenges, such as missing values, unusual distributions, and non-unified data types—all common issues in medical data.

R is a powerful statistical programming language that offers a comprehensive range of statistical models, tests, and algorithms. With its extensive range of statistical techniques, R enables users to perform tasks such as linear and nonlinear modeling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, and more. Additionally, R offers robust graphical capabilities. It also provides a vast collection of packages specifically designed for medical and healthcare research, allowing researchers to perform complex analyses efficiently.

This project places a strong emphasis on practical learning and fosters a spirit of exploration as we navigate real-world data and analysis challenges. Throughout the project, we’ll explore various subjects, from fundamental to advanced statistics. Topics covered will include hypothesis testing, regression, and categorical data analysis in medical data.
