Capabilities - Biostatistics
Biostatistics at the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) supports ongoing programs involving medical surveillance of workers and other populations and occupational epidemiology as well as research. ORISE emphasizes insightful and accurate analysis, practical interpretation of results, and clear, easily read reports.
All analyses are preceded by extensive data scrubbing and verification. ORISE’s approach relies on applying appropriate methods of statistical analysis to a variety of problems in occupational health and other areas as diverse as radiation dose reconstruction and early childhood vaccination information.
