Getting Started with Python for Biostatistics

Welcome to this second chapter! Here, you’ll learn how to install and get started using Python. The main goal of this chapter is for you to learn how to install and get started using Python for biostatistics. To facilitate the use of the Python programming language, you’ll learn how to use Jupyter Notebook and Spyder’s integrated development environment (IDE), which are used to make Python programming easier.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Installing and navigating Python software on your platform
  • Launching the Spyder IDE and using its interfaces
  • Installing and using packages in Python
  • Installing Python software on your platform

The Python programming language is open source and available for anyone to use. It can be used for academic, research, or even commercial purposes. Additionally, many types of IDEs facilitate and make it easier for us to...
