Core--Biostatistics

生物统计核心将为最有效地利用该CMCR调查人员收集的数据提供所需的人员和知识。核心研究人员致力于对拟议研究中出现的所有定量问题直接感兴趣。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时提供他们的投入。从研究设计和数据收集到从收集到的数据的描述和推断陈述，统计问题将在每个调查的每个层面得到解决。核心研究人员通过对不同研究项目的贡献，促进不同研究之间的跨学科互动，从而增强中心的协同效应。核心将提供广泛的服务，包括数据管理、数据分析、开发所需的新方法，以及特定应用程序可能需要的计算机模拟。此外，生物统计核心将开发和测试计算机软件，从高维数组中识别具有良好预测质量的潜在重要标记（细胞因子）。

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.
