Staff members conduct original research in statistics and have made significant contributions to the scientific literature. Our statisticians have applied both recently developed and conventional statistical methods to the wide range of study designs encountered in research and development in clinical trials and epidemiology. Areas of expertise include:

• Clinical trial methodology including randomization methods, sequential monitoring, stochastic curtailing, internal and external pilot studies, power, and sample size calculations.
• Survival analyses.
• Experimental designs for clinical studies.
• Longitudinal data analysis.
• Screening programs (e.g., disease detection) with development and assessment of decision rules.
• Meta-analysis to combine information across studies.
• Design and analysis of epidemiologic studies.

We believe our experience in collaborating with scientists in many fields uniquely qualifies us to offer services that meet the needs of a wide variety of research organizations.
