DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE

该合同是为了开发与SAS兼容的计算机软件 采用先进的统计方法。 承包商将 批判性地评估目前可用的分析技术 与逻辑和考克斯模型，并选择实施方法， 在统计学上是有效的，在计算上是实用的。 软件 将被设计为扩展和补充，而不是复制， 由SAS Institute开发。 本合同的结果将 大大增加了可用于正确分析的工具电池， 医疗数据。

The contract is for the development of SAS-compatible computer software implementing advanced statistical methodology. The Contractor will critically evaluate the analytic techniques currently available for use with the logistic and Cox models and select for implementation methods that are statistically efficient and computationally practical. The software will be designed to extend and complement, rather than duplicate, concurrent developments by SAS Institute. Results of this contract will add significantly to the battery of tools available for properly analyzing medical data.
