Biostatistics

In that cross-sectional study, I achieved some real-time experiences of data collection, data analysis, and writing a research paper. I was very much appreciated by my supervisor due to my diligence and endeavor to this research project as I spent some extra hours with him for data…

Knowledge of the statistical analytical methods enables animal…
