Our experts have delivered work of many scopes, sizes and budgets. These examples show how our approach plays out in practice.
Designed and developed statistical analysis plans for a vast clinical-trial program for the oncology department of a large pharmaceutical company in New Jersey, one of the top 10 internationally.
A randomized clinical trial and prospective cohort study compared surgical outcomes. We developed expert guidelines on the effects of shared decision-making and conducted the statistical analysis with repeated measures, nonparametric statistics and stratified analysis. A decision-tree model compared three surgery types.
A stochastic decision-tree model evaluated the survival benefit of adding chemotherapy to tamoxifen. We developed the Bayesian statistics for the model and ran the analysis of variance, correlation and nonparametric analyses.
Managed large electronic-health-record datasets and applied multivariate and regression modeling to explore predictors of biochemical outcomes in type 2 diabetes, with sponsor-ready SAPs and outputs for international collaborations.
Led statistical strategy and data management for observational and pragmatic studies with quality-of-life and patient-reported endpoints, presenting findings to executive stakeholders to support product-lifecycle decisions.
A U.S. Department of Energy study funded by NIOSH of a fifty-year worker cohort, assessing cause-specific mortality and cancer incidence. Our role included preference analysis for roster development and quality assurance of data management in SAS.
For a top-10 U.S. health insurer, we combined hourly measures of 10 air-pollution factors and twice-daily measures of 24 upper-air factors over three years to forecast asthmatic and allergic cases in Pennsylvania public schools.
Data mining of large school-health datasets (Pre-K to Grade 12) revealed body-mass-index patterns; follow-on work modeled transitions between BMI categories using simulation. Findings appeared in the Journal of School Health and the American Journal of Public Health.
Sentiment analysis and web-content analysis of online news and social media, plus stochastic-tree simulation of QALY outcomes under funding and coverage scenarios for people with multiple chronic conditions.
A retail data-mining technique, market basket analysis, was applied to reveal gateway and substitution patterns in prescription-drug misuse among twelfth graders (Journal of Addiction Medicine).
Collaborated for three years with health-care organizations and the state of Pennsylvania on research using de-identified K-12 data from a coordinated school-health portal serving about 1,100 school buildings.
Feasibility study, statistics and business plans for relocating the tanneries district from Old Cairo to Badr City, for Egypt’s Ministry of International Cooperation, with funding from Japan.
Investigation of development constraints to identify priorities and strategies for strengthening clients’ capabilities to compete globally, including MIS development and statistical analysis.
Survey-based study of existing and potential customers and dealers to understand demographics, purchasing patterns, decision factors, brand awareness and competition for Zanussi Co. of Egypt.
Economic and statistical analysis of how regulation affects small enterprises in leather, garment, metal and wood sectors.
Feasibility study and business plans for two pilot business incubators on the Suez Canal ($3.5M), and design and operation of a management information system to monitor the US-AID Training Block Grants activity across Egypt ($5M).
Our team’s work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings.
Contemporary Issues in Public Health in North Africa and the Middle East (Nova Science Publishers). Chapters address diabetes, hepatitis C, sexually transmitted infections, drinking water and gender discrepancies in health, going beyond the HIV/AIDS focus of much regional scholarship.
A second volume on healthcare reform in the USA, covering sentiment analysis of online media and stochastic simulation of reform scenarios, is in process.
Data Mining and Simulation conferences (WORLDCOMP’12 and ’13, Las Vegas): healthcare-reform simulation, online-news content analysis and Twitter-based early warning of norovirus outbreaks.
We’d be glad to discuss how our experience applies to your project.
