Overview: Recent advances in cancer biology have resulted in the need for increased statistical analysis of research data. The Statistical Analysis of Research Data (SARD) is designed to provide an overview on the general principles of statistical analysis of research data. 

The Statistical Analysis of Research Data (SARD) course will be held virtually by WebEx on January 8, 10, 13 and 15, 2025 from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. at the National Institutes of Health. SARD is designed to provide an overview on the general principles of statistical analysis of research data. The course will be taught by Paul W. Thurman of Columbia University. The first day will feature univariate data analysis, including descriptive statistics, sampling of the mean and estimating population mean. The second day will feature univariate statistics including hypothesis testing, two sample tests of means and small versus large sample consideration. The third day will feature bivariate data analysis including bivariate statistics, linear regression and regression diagnostics. The fourth day will feature multiple regression, regression analysis and non-parametric tools and goodness of fit tests.
