❝ Biostatistician. One who has neither the intellect for mathematics

❝ nor the commitment for medicine

❝ but likes to dabble in both. Stephen Senn

Nice one Helmut, never heard!

I believe that is true for some old statisticians not used to computers and with a strong mathematics background. I'm a junior statistician and my background is in life sciences. Simulation is my favourite tool for everything, both because I'm not as good as that in mathematical theory and because simulation allows us to produce a lot of useful output to learn and prove our points (and it is much more simple to explain that mathematical equations :D). As far as I saw, new statisticians joining the pharmaceutical industry are much more computer science-lovers than mathematics nerds. So it will be a matter of time until Stephen's definition will be outdated :D
