Two fields of research have found tremendous applicability in the analysis of biological data-statistics and information theory. Statistics is extensively used for the measurement of central tendency, dispersion, comparison and covariation. Measures of information are used to study diversity and equitability. These two fields have been used independent of each other for data analysis. In this communication, we develop the link between the two and prove that statistical measures can be used as information measures. Our study will be a new interdisciplinary field of research and it will be possible to describe information content of a system from its statistics.
