C-2: Clinical Study Core

生物统计核心为研究人员提供关于定量方法的咨询和合作 孢子项目和所有发展项目以及核心一、二和四。具体目标是： 。提供“开放的大门”(更像是“开放的电话”或“开放的电子邮件”)的短期统计咨询 整个孢子调查组。 2.提供生物统计学专业知识，用于规划、实施、分析和报告实验室、动物、 孢子项目的临床和流行病学研究。 3.就计算机数据库、统计计算机程序包、公开提供的统计资料提供咨询 计算机之间和数据库之间的程序和移动数据，以及我们提供的统计 合作开发专门问题的统计程序。 4.促进孢子项目和发展项目之间共享关于变异性的信息 以及各种措施的统计分布，如新的分析方法，肿瘤负荷测量方法 在动物研究中，以及人类研究中标志物的短期和长期变化，以便进行研究 设计将由几个数据集提供信息(而不仅仅是该项目中所做的试点研究)。

The Biostatistics Core provides consultation and collaboration on quantitative methods to investigators on 6 of the SPORE projects and all developmental projects and to Cores I, 2, and 4. The specific aims are: . To provide "open door" (more likely "open phone" or "open email") short term statistical consultation to the entire group of SPORE investigators. 2. To provide biostatisticalexpertise for the planning, conduct, analysis,and reporting of laboratory, animal, clinical, and epidemiological studies for SPORE projects. 3. To provide consultation on computer databases, statisticalcomputer packages, publicly available statistical programs and moving data between computers and between databases, as well us to provide statistical collaboration in developing statistical programs for specialized problems. 4. To facilitiate sharing of information between SPORE projects and developmentalprojects on variability of and statisticaldistributions of various measures, such as new assays, methods of tumor burdenmeasurements in animal studies, and short and long term changes in markers in human studies in order to permit study designs to be informed by several data sets (rather thanjust the pilot studies done in that project.)
