Equipment

Each biostatistician has a Windows XP workstation equipped with the latest software for statistical analysis (SAS, S-Plus, StatXact, Stata, NCSS/PASS) and office productivity (Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, MathType, Reference Manager). Their workstations are linked through a firewall-protected local area network consisting of two servers running Windows Server 2000: this provides data backup, file sharing, and network printing services. The biostatisticians can also access a SUN Solaris UNIX server from their XP workstations. The UNIX server has several legacy statistical applications, a patient randomization service, and a shared web/ftp server. Finally, all workstations have a wide-area network connection that provides a connection to the Internet and online access to resources of the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).
