By the 18th century, the term statistics designated as the systematic collection of demographic and economic data for planning and governing by states. As a result, statistics once was known as political arithmetic. Since the early 19th century, statistics has gradually been introduced to research. Today, statistics has been used almost in all aspect of human life, particularly the use in research. The development of statistics as a branch of science has attributed to two important inventions: Probability Theory and Computer Science.
Today statistics become an essential and necessary tool for many researchers to investigate sophisticated research questions, to uncover myths, and to generate new knowledge. However, many people aournd us will simply turn down when they hear the word “statistics”. I will use this blog as a small stage to share with anyone from those who are simply curious about it to those who are using it in their daily work. My blog will be particularly relevant to those who are working in the field of public health, psychology, behavioral research. Statistics is simple. It is around us in our daily life. It is not as scary as it sounds!
