Shyamal Peddada directs the Statistical Consulting Service (SCS) offered by the Biostatistics Branch to researchers within the Division of Intramural Research (DIR).  In addition to using standard statistical methods for analyzing data, as needed, the SCS develops innovative statistical methods that are appropriate for analyzing data. The service works with researchers on study design and analysis of experiments and participates in the preparation of the National Toxicology Program’s technical report series on toxicity and carcinogenicity of various chemicals.  It also offers short courses on statistical design and analysis for DIR researchers.

Peddada also conducts methodological research in the field of order restricted inference with applications to toxicology and analysis of gene expression data.  He exploits the underlying inequality structure in the data, which generally results in an increased power in the analysis and better interpretation of the data.  The statistical methods that Peddada developed have a wide range of applications.  For instance, he has developed a new statistical procedure for analyzing NTP's rodent cancer bioassay data that takes into account NTP’s database of relevant historical control data.  He is also developing statistical methods for analyzing gene expression data obtained from time-course and dose-response microarray experiments. He recently developed free software called "Order Restricted Inference for Ordered Gene ExpressioN" (ORIOGEN) for analyzing gene expression data obtained from time-course/dose-response studies. ORIOGEN may be downloaded from the Biostatistics Branch Resources page.
