Advanced statistical analysis and modeling

The Medical Statistics group is involved in a number of areas of advanced statistical analysis and modelling. This includes causal inference and modeling (Prof Saskia le Cessie); advanced statistical modelling, including Bayesian analyses (Dr Erik van Zwet), Prediction modelling (Prof Ewout Steyerberg, Dr Ben Van Calster), and advanced data management (ADM, Dr Karin van der Pal).

One area of expertise is in the development, validation, and updating of clinical prediction models. Methods and guidance is needed to improve model development and validation, updating strategies, impact assessment and implementation.

Consultation

The section Medical Statistics is involved in a large number of studies that are primarily led by other LUMC departments. Staff members of Medical Statistics are open for collaboration or advise on a wide range of statistical methods.
