Preface Medical science and statistics go hand in hand. Unless you present your work in a systematically, the world is not going to get the valid depiction of your work. This book is aimed at introducing the basics of Statistics to the Undergraduates, Graduates and Post graduates of Medical Science and Ayurveda. This book also covers the core concepts of components of Biostatistics essential for the Medical Students and faculty. The book is divided in 19 chapters dealing with the fundamentals of Bio statics.

Lack of exposure of Biostatics of medical students and faculty motivated us to pen down the basics of Biostatics. The students will get the basic idea and insight about the terminology, methodology, Statistical tests etc required to put across their research work in a more professional manner.

The journey of writing the book was very educative and we gained a lot in the sense of being an author. We are indebted to Dr. Suhas Kumar Shetty, who had been instrumental in casting our minds and made Biostatics an exciting subject.

We are grateful to our mentor who had been beside us guiding and motivating all through our life. We are gratified to our parents and our kids who had supported us in composing this book.

We would like to thank Sh. Omprakash Sharma and Sh. Bajrang Lal Sharma of Jagadish Sanskrit Pustakalya, Jaipur for their support in publishing this book. Last but not the least we would like to acknowledge all those who have helped this publication come through.
