Whether study planning, data management or evaluation: no study can do without the necessary statistics, for example to confirm a corresponding skin or hair physiological proof of effect or to evaluate a multiple analysis. In the Bio-Statistics department of the Dr. Schrader Institutes, this study information is processed centrally.

In order to ensure a well-founded evaluation, a statistical model is developed according to the study type, which includes aspects such as case number planning, hypothesis definition and randomization. Furthermore, a definition of the adequate statistical analyses already takes place in this phase.

The creation of electronic input masks and databases as well as plausibility checks enable a high validity of the collected data. Likewise, programmed import and export routines ensure error-free data transfer from technical analysis devices before they are graphically processed.
