Medical Statistics and decision making

Mission

To develop and apply statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing ever-larger and complex data in collaboration with epidemiological and clinical researchers.

Content

Our research focuses on developing methods for statistical modeling in clinical and epidemiological studies and analyzing large cohort data. We also develop decision analysis techniques to support benefit-risk assessments of medicines and medical decision-making. In addition to these research activities, our unit teaches statistical methods to undergraduate and postgraduate students through a range of basic and advanced courses. We provide statistical support to other researchers through the Clinical Research Office and through short- and long-term collaborations with various clinical departments in the UMCG.
