Consider the application area of OIO, though, which is the collection of CRF's (patient-based case report forms for hospital as well as possibly clinical-trials related activities). This is a fair caution, I think, for that general population of researchers and hospital IT folks (and clinician/IT types). Issues include use of R as well as application of medium to advanced statistical methods. On the other hand, it's a nice approach, and one which we are working on to leverage for similar projects. best, -tony -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.analytics.washington.edu/ Biomedical and Health Informatics University of Washington Biostatistics, SCHARP/HVTN Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center UW (Tu/Th/F): 206-616-7630 FAX=206-543-3461 | Voicemail is unreliable FHCRC (M/W): 206-667-7025 FAX=206-667-4812 | use Email CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message and any attachme...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
