# BIOSTATISTICAL PROBLEMS IN CANCER RESEARCH

> **NIH NIH R01** · DANA-FARBER CANCER INST · 1992 · $100,207

## Abstract

The long range objectives of this proposal are to develop and evaluate
statistical techniques which are useful in the design and analysis of
human studies arising in cancer research.  Specific topics for the
current funding period include: (1) distribution-free methods for
comparing treatment groups with respect to repeated measures data in
randomized clinical trials; (2) methods for detecting and controlling for
overdispersion in censored survival data; and (3) estimator of odds
ratios in case-control studies which incorporate distributional
assumptions concerning exposure.
