Expertise in the group:
The staff in the group have a solid mathematical background to rigorously approach data-answerable research questions. The group expertise ranges from the design of the study up to the final analysis of the data by using the appropriate statistical and mathematical methodology.
Statistics: How?
It is crucial that a statistician is involved together with the PI in setting the new research plan, discussing the statistical analysis plan to be performed, and advise on sample size determination.
Statistics: When?
- Routine but also speculative research benefit from a rigorous mathematical/statistical input.
- It is definitely beneficial that PhD students have not only a clinical supervisor but also a statistical one
- Statistics lectures at PMC are beneficial, selected topics can be chosen by the researchers
