Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our new Special Issue, "Advances in Biostatistics for Cardiovascular and Cancer Research", highlights how healthcare and research in cancer and cardiovascular disease have come into a new era, with the emergence of a large variety of new therapies, preventions, and interventions. With new developments in diagnostic modalities, treatment regimens, and interventions, there are new challenges in study design, power analysis, analytical methods, computational algorithms, and result interpretations for medical and public health studies aiming to evaluate the efficacy of new therapeutics, assess the performance and accuracies of diagnostic and prognostic tools, and examine the ecological impact of an exposure or a new health policy. This Special Issue encourages novel research methodologies in study design, biostatistical analysis, and computing algorithms for cancer and cardiovascular disease research. Novel methodologies include both novel biostatistical methodologies and novel applications of current methodologies in a new research topic. The areas of application include, but are not limited to, cancer and prognostics, statistical genetics, clinical trials, epidemiologic studies, medical images, and meta-analyses. Methods related to artificial intelligence and machine learning are especially encouraged.
