Revitalizing Clinical Trial Methodology andTranslational Statistics

摘要

If you notice reports on clinical medicine in JAMA and also in Nature―they have actually published a position paper which is very interesting, they said that from now on, anybody submitting a clinical paper needs to specify in detail what statistical methodology is used in the paper. It is very interesting that they emphasize alot about statistics these days. We aid a very good job of selling ourselves, just like lawyers, and I think we have been pretty successful in generating alot of jobs these days. So, today I want to share with you something we are thinking about. You may notice that the methodology is mainly quantitative methods, and I would like to emphasize two words to you: translational statistics.inis is actually a new term. A mend of mine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston tried to patent this word for me—-nobody has used this word yet, translational statistics.
