Robust statistical analysis methods capable of dealing with large complex data sets are required more than ever before in almost all branches of science. The European Science Foundation's three-year ...

We review the motivation for exploring the role of rare variants in phenotypic expression. There are several problems with capturing the effects of rare variants in association studies using current ...

In medical research, it is common to see continuous measures grouped into categories to simplify a covariate's relationship with survival and its interpretation. There is no statistical reason for ...

Innovative statistical method helps determine ideal threshold times in restricted mean survival time analyses. The restricted mean survival time (RMST) analysis technique was introduced in health care ...

Our friends over at Noah Data have written a research style paper, Introduction to Statistical Analysis and Outlier Detection Methods, that discusses how statistical data can generally be classified ...

Safety evaluation studies are essential for regulatory approval before a new pharmaceutical can enter clinical phases. Conducted in GLP (Good Laboratory Practice)-certified facilities, these studies ...

When business people talk Big Data, they often focus on the complexity of dealing with enormous data volume, but that’s changing. Volume alone does not pose the challenge it once did. For example, the ...
