Analytic Methods
We develop and publish novel statistical methods to overcome methodological challenges encountered in health care research. Within the IHR, we collaborate closely with investigators on study design, statistical analysis and research manuscripts. Our primary aim is to provide investigators in the Institute for Health Research with state-of-the-art statistical support.
