Abstract :
This paper aims to discuss, in its simplest form, the complexity of the interaction of electromagnetic waves with human tissue in terms of epidemiological research and biostatistics. It also reviews the application of statistical methods to biomedical sciences. Hypothetical epidemiologic tests and experiments are given for these purposes.
