Abstract

Statistics is the science dealing with the collecting, summarizing and interpreting of associations in research data, and has a leading role in medical research. This article is an introductory publication in a series devoted to biomedical statistics. The aim of this article is to acquaint the readers with the basic concepts of Venn diagrams, probability and set theory, which are required to further understand descriptive and inferential statistics. First, we discuss the applications of Venn diagrams in current clinical research. Then we discuss the definitions of sample space, events, basic set operations (union and intersection) and their implementation in the classical approach to probability theory. All examples are introduced with Venn diagrams to illustrate the cases.
