STATISTICAL ANALYSIS CELL

About the Statistical Analysis Cell

The Statistical Analysis Cell (SAC) is composed of statisticians with various backgrounds and specialized experience. All staff members have earned advanced degrees in a variety of areas and have professional experience in military healthcare analysis, statistics, computer programming, data mining and epidemiology.

Our expertise in data analysis and management have made the Statistical Analysis Cell a pioneer in the development and execution of many deployment healthcare-related studies and medical surveillance projects that have provided data-driven analyses for Army and Department of Defense (DoD) medical planners and decision makers. Our studies and analyses rely upon our ability to create complex datasets from secondary data sources.

Statistical analysts perform both comprehensive, strategic studies and short-term, ad-hoc analyses.
