Biostatistical reasoning and modeling were of critical importance to the foundation

theories of modern biology. In the early 1900s, after the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's

Mendelian inheritance work, the gaps in understanding between genetics and evolutionary

Darwinism led to vigorous debate among biometricians, such as Walter Weldon, Karl

Pearson, Charles Davenport, William Bateson and Wilhelm Johannsen. By the 1930s,

statisticians and models built on statistical reasoning had helped to resolve these

differences and to produce the neo-Darwinian modern evolutionary synthesis. Biostatistics

is the study of statistics as applied to biological areas. Biological laboratory experiments,

medical research (including clinical research), agricultural and health services research all

use statistical methods.

In view of this, Zakir Husain Delhi College is organizing a Workshop on

Biostatistics -- an initiative to Educate the Educators in March 9-10, 2017. The University

Grants Commission has introduced several new papers such as Biostatistics; Cryptography

and Network Security; Information Security; Combinatorics and Applications of Algebra etc.

under choice based credit system for undergraduate students of Mathematics and Botany.

To do justice with the students, the faculty of various colleges of University of Delhi need to

undergo training in this paper.

The workshop is being organized as a part of Faculty Development Programme and

the participants will be teachers/research scholars of Mathematics/Statistics/Botany/Zoology

from various colleges/institutes. However, due to the mandate of UGC, as a part of recently

introduced CBCS programme at the undergraduate level, they are expected to teach these

papers.

Therefore, it is proposed that together with lecture along with applications (an hour

and 15 minutes duration), they should also get worksheets in order to give them hands on

practice. Some of the topics that need to be covered are as follows:

Applications of Algebra

Cryptography and Network Security

Combinatorics

Information Security

Logistic regression

Sample size determination

Chi square analysis

Estimation and testing of hypothesis

Exploratory data analysis

Tests of significance

Probability
