What Do Statisticians And Biostatisticians Do?

摘要

In the May 2008 issue of Amstat News, a letter from a biostatistics graduate student, Stephanie, written to me was printed. Stephanie pointed out what got her interested in pursu- i ing a graduate degree in biostatistics and she asked what statisticians and biostatisticians do, exactly. Although we requested input from the community, we received very few responses,rnand most of those responses did not answer the question.
