Core--Biostatistics

生物统计核心将提供最有效利用本CMCR研究者收集的数据所需的人员和知识。核心研究者致力于直接关注拟议研究中出现的所有定量问题。他们将参加定期的项目和中心会议，并在需要统计专业知识的情况下提供投入。统计问题将在每次研究的各个层面进行解决，从研究设计和数据收集到对收集的数据进行描述和推断。核心研究人员将通过参与不同的研究项目，促进各种研究之间的跨学科互动，从而增强中心的协同效应。该核心将提供广泛的服务，包括数据管理、数据分析、根据需要开发新的方法，以及特定应用可能需要的计算机模拟。此外，生物统计学核心将开发和测试计算机软件，以确定具有良好预测质量的潜在重要标志物（细胞因子），从高维数组中。

The Biostatistics Core will provide the personnel and knowledge needed for the most efficient utilization of the data collected by the investigators of this CMCR. Core investigators are committed to taking a direct interest in all quantitative issues arising in the proposed studies. They will participate in regular project and Center meetings and provide their input wherever statistical expertise is necessary. Statistical issues will be addressed at every level of every investigation from study design and data collection to the description and inferential statements made from the collected data. By contributing to diverse research projects, the core investigators will promote interdisciplinary interactions among various studies, thereby enhancing the synergistic effect of the Center. The core will offer a wide spectrum of services including data management, data analysis, development of new methodologies as needed, and computer simulations as may be required by a specific application. In addition, the Biostatistics Core will develop and test computer software to identify potentially important markers (cytokines) with good predictive qualities, out of a high dimensional array.
