20150293885 | METHOD FOR CENTRAL STATISTICAL MONITORING OF DATA COLLECTED OVER A PLURALITY OF DISTRIBUTED DATA COLLECTION CENTERS - A method for central monitoring of a research includes the steps of creating and storing a database consisting of datasets generated during the research, preprocessing the database to remove variables that are unsuitable for analysis, extracting metadata from the database to identify types of the variables, storing the preprocessed datasets and corresponding metadata in a statistical database, executing statistical tests on a data collection center by data collection center basis to detect abnormalities and patterns present in datasets, creating and storing a matrix containing p-values based upon the executed statistical tests, identifying any outlying data collection centers by summarizing the p-values, determining if any of the executed statistical tests are faulty and removing such faulty executed statistical tests from the matrix to create a filtered matrix, and computing an overall p-value score. | 10-15-2015 |
20130282320 | METHODS FOR CENTRAL MONITORING OF RESEARCH TRIALS - A method for central monitoring of a research trial includes the steps of creating and storing a clinical database consisting of datasets generated during the research trial, preprocessing the database to remove variables that are unsuitable for analysis, extracting metadata from the database to identify types of the variables, storing the preprocessed datasets and corresponding metadata in a statistical database, executing statistical tests on a data collection center by data collection center basis to detect abnormalities and patterns present in datasets, creating and storing a matrix containing p-values based upon the executed statistical tests, identifying any outlying data collection centers by summarizing the p-values, determining if any of the executed statistical tests are faulty and removing such faulty executed statistical tests from the matrix to create a filtered matrix, and computing an overall p-value score. | 10-24-2013 |
