Time and Money! A well-versed statistician can work with your deadlines, and within your budget, to give you the best design and analysis for your money. Additionally, a contract statistician can be less expensive than an in-house statistician because statistical assistance is mostly needed during the design of the protocol and for the analysis of results. 

A contract statistician can also be less biased than an in-house statistician, lending more credibility to the results derived from your study.

Early. There are many reasons to bring a statistician in at the protocol stage to design your methods and again for analysis. A statistician’s job is to know the best methodological design and analyses to perform given your population(s) and research questions of study. A statistician can assist with: 

• The type of data to collect.
• Methods of adjustment for incomplete or missing data due to random or systematic processes, or due to patient attrition.
• The best methods for analysis and inference (forming conclusions) from the data.
• Determination of an adequate sample size to provide the information needed to meet study objectives.

It is easy to understand why a statistician is important for analysis of data, but many problems can arise when a statistician is not consulted during the proposal phase of a study: 

• Primary outcomes are not succinctly defined, and an analysis plan is not defined for secondary aims of the study.
• Sample size calculation is not adequately formed or presented.
• Assumptions of the statistical methodology are not considered.
• Contingency plans for study design and analysis are not considered.

• Experience. Omega Statistics is a leader in the biotechnology field and with all phases of clinical trials, from Phase I to IV, from preliminary testing to performing post-marketing surveillance.
