Department of Biostatistics

 


Researchand Study

The Yale School of Public Health Biostatistics department develops quantitative methodologies and tools for rigorous scientific research to solve the world’s most challenging problems in biology, medicine and public health. Our view of biostatistics encompasses all aspects of the scientific method, from study design and data collection to computation, statistical analysis and interpretation and communication of findings.

Our faculty are leaders in the research, development and application of statistical methods in areas across the field of biostatistics and health data science. You can explore specific Areas of Interest below or see specific research interests at the Faculty page.

You can also explore the School’s website for more information about our Academics and Graduate Programs within Biostatistics and other departments.

Division of Health Informatics

The Division of Health Informatics is invested in training and research around issues surrounding big data acquisition and its management in health care as well as biomedical and public health research. The science of health informatics drives innovation-defining future approaches to information and knowledge management in biomedical research, clinical care and public health. Our department leads in these areas through interdisciplinary research and the health informatics concentration in the department’s Master’s degree program.

Data experts race to preserve US government statistics amid quiet purges

Image
                                                After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. "There are trillions of bytes of data files, and I can't even imagine how many public dollars were spent to collect those data. ... But right now, they're sitting someplace that is inaccessible because there are no staff to appropriately manage those data," Jennifer Park, a study director for the Committee on National Statistics, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, said during the conference hosted by the Association of Public Data Users (APDU). Their goal is to make sure they are available in t...

11 Essential Statistical Tools for Data-Driven Research

Image
  Best Statistical Tools, Statistical analysis is a crucial part of research, and statistical tools can streamline the process by helping researchers interpret the data in a simpler format. Here's the list of best statistical tools. 1. R In data analytics, R stands out among the top open-source statistical tools. Researchers in statistics use it. It provides high-quality toolboxes that can be used for many different things. The learning curve for the open-source programming language R is steep. R programming provides an efficient data handling and storage facility. R also has the best set available for array calculations. Thanks to its graphical tools for analysis, data visualization is another area where R shines. It is an all-inclusive high-level programming language with various functions, conditional loops, and decision expressions 2. Python Python is a versatile language with statistics modules. Its versatility and depth make it an excellent choice for creating analysis pipeli...

Why are data nerds racing to save US government statistics ?

  The data nerds are fighting back. After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. Their goal is to make sure they are available in the future, believing that democracy suffers when policymakers don’t have reliable data and that national statistics should be above partisan politics. “There are such smart, passionate people who care deeply about not only the Census Bureau, but all the statistical agencies, and ensuring the integrity of the statistical system. And that gives me hope, even during these challenging times,” Mary Jo Mitchell, director of government and public affairs for the research nonprofit the Population Association of America, said this week during an online public data-users conference.
