SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING #14

This text is dedicated to all the students who have completed my BIEN 084

statistics course for biomedical engineers and have taught me how to be

more effective in communicating the subject matter and making statistics

come alive for them. I also thank J. Claypool for his patience and

for encouraging me to inally put this text together.

Finally, I thank my family for tolerating my time at home on the laptop.

ABSTRACT

There are many books wrtten about statstcs, some bref, some detaled, some humorous, some

colorful, and some qute dry. Each of these texts s desgned for a specic audence. Too often, texts

about statstcs have been rather theoretcal and ntmdatng for those not practcng statstcal

analyss on a routne bass. Thus, many engneers and scentsts, who need to use statstcs much

more frequently than calculus or dfferental equatons, lack suficent knowledge of the use of

statstcs. The audence that s addressed n ths text s the unversty-level bomedcal engneerng

student who needs a bare-bones coverage of the most basc statstcal analyss frequently used n

bomedcal engneerng practce. The text ntroduces students to the essental vocabulary and basc

concepts of probablty and statstcs that are requred to perform the numercal summary and sta-

tstcal analyss used n the bomedcal ield. Ths text s consdered a startng pont for mportant

ssues to consder when desgnng experments, summarzng data, assumng a probablty model for

the data, testng hypotheses, and drawng conclusons from sampled data.

A student who has completed ths text should have suficent vocabulary to read more ad-

vanced texts on statstcs and further ther knowledge about addtonal numercal analyses that are

used n the bomedcal engneerng ield but are beyond the scope of ths text. Ths book s desgned

to supplement an undergraduate-level course n appled statstcs, specically n bomedcal eng-

neerng. Practcng engneers who have not had formal nstructon n statstcs may also use ths text

as a smple, bref ntroducton to statstcs used n bomedcal engneerng. The emphass s on the

applcaton of statstcs, the assumptons made n applyng the statstcal tests, the lmtatons of

these elementary statstcal methods, and the errors often commtted n usng statstcal analyss.

A number of examples from bomedcal engneerng research and ndustry practce are provded to

assst the reader n understandng concepts and applcaton. It s beneical for the reader to have

some background n the lfe scences and physology and to be famlar wth basc bomedcal n-

strumentaton used n the clncal envronment.
