Core Activities

The Design and Statistics Core focuses on biostatistical methods for the design, conduct, and analysis of health system-embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) among people living with dementia (PLWD) and care partners.

Core members develop and disseminate novel biostatistical approaches for the design and conduct of ePCTs; provide guidance to investigators on design, power and sample size, analytic methods and reproducibility.  They train the next generation of biostatisticians and collaborate with other Cores on the development of methods and tools supporting ePCT design.
