# BIOSTATISTICAL PROBLEMS IN CANCER RESEARCH

> **NIH NIH R01** · DANA-FARBER CANCER INST · 1988 · $71,726

## Abstract

The long-range objectives of this proposal are to develop and
evaluate statistical techniques useful in the design and analysis of
human studies arising in cancer research.  Specific topics for the
current funding period include:  (1) methods for the design and
analysis of clinical studies involving recurring events which can be
either symptomatic or asymptomatic, (2) methods for the design
and analysis of studies to assess agreement between reviewers
when response-stratified sampling is employed; and (3) methods
for estimating the number of disease cases attributable to an
exposure.
