In medical research, where treatments for illness and disease are developed for the human population, a variety of genetic backgrounds, diets and lifestyles often limit the ability of researchers to control extraneous sources of variation and clearly observe treatment effects. Probability based statistical models are often used to control for these secondary variables after the experiment has ended.
