Summary:

"This first chapter is a bit like hello world for a programmer, it's about getting our hands dirty with the simplest example possible. Here, it's about obtaining a numerical representation of the dataset, by calculating information like the mean and the standard deviation. The kind of thing we're taught in introductory statistics courses. In addition, understanding the concept of scatter is particularly crucial in biostatistics. It refers to the spread of data points around the central value. It helps us better understand the variability or diversity of a dataset"-- Provided by publisher.
