Chapter 3: Statistical methods in bioinformatics
Abstract
Scientific investigations have been transformed by the introduction of high-throughput, multi-platform genomic tools that provide whole-genome molecular representations of biological data. These techniques produce extremely organized and huge amounts of data every day, which is difficult to analyze quantitatively. In order to solve these issues, the field of bioinformatics has emerged, which is comprised of numerous quantitative and biomedical experts collaborating to successfully analyze this data and extract the richness of insights it contains. Given their understanding of variation and risk measurement, statisticians serve a critical role in such activities. Without the aid of ...
