STATISTICAL COMPUTING CORE

研究计算以及超大型数据库的连接、管理和存储，现在是一个 癌症研究的重要组成部分。用于癌症研究的高维数据分析已经变得非常重要。 跨学科和进入专业领域（如信息学，统计编程，计算 生物学地理信息系统、系统管理和数据库管理）是 至关重要虽然计算和存储的价格稳步下降，但 专业研究计算专业知识和大型数据集的管理已经增加， 继续增加。此外，大量的研究数据安全要求， 集中式基础设施，可以提供对安全数据集的访问，同时， 计算能力统计计算核心（SCC）的总体目的是确保所有 项目调查人员可以访问链接和安全存储的数据集和尖端统计数据 为三个拟议研究项目提供电脑支援。具体目标是：（1）提供机会， 最先进的研究计算专门知识和基础设施（目标1）; 2）开发全面的数据 计划项目的管理结构（目标2）; 3）提供获得专业知识的机会，如 地理信息系统、生物信息学和统计方案编制（目标3）;以及 研究社区和维护计划项目网站（目标4）。

Research computing and the linkage, management, and storage of very large databases, are now an essential part of cancer research. Analysis of high dimensional data for cancer research has become highly interdisciplinary and the access to specialized fields (e.g. informatics, statistical programming, computational biology. Geographic Information Systems, system administration, and data base management) is of paramount importance. While the price of computation and storage has steadily decreased, the cost of highly specialized research computing expertise and administration of large data sets has increased and will continue to increase. In addition, the large number of requirements for research data security calls for a centralized infrastructure that can provide access to secure data sets and, at the same time, enormous computational power. The overall purpose of the Statistical Computing Core (SCC) is to ensure that all Program investigators have access to linked and securely stored datasets and cutting edge statistical computing support for the three proposed research projects. The specific aims are: 1) Provide access to state of the art research computing expertise and infrastructure (Aim 1); 2) Develop a comprehensive data management structure for the Program Project (Aim 2); 3) Provide access to specialized expertise such as GIS, bioinformatics; and statistical programming (Aim 3); and 4) Support and disseminate software to the research community and maintain the Program Project website (Aim 4).
