Norman Edward Breslow (born February 21, 1941) is an American statistician and medical researcher. In 2015, he is Professor (Emeritus) of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health, of the University of Washington. He is co-author or author of hundreds of published works during 1992 to 2015.〔(Publications )〕 Among his many accomplishments is his work with co-author Nicholas Day that developed and popularized the use of case-control matched sample research designs, in the two-volume work ''Statistical Methods in Cancer Research''. This was with view that matched sample studies have a role within larger program of many types of studies, in making progress on a vast and important problem like cancer. Matched sample studies can quickly and cheaply test some hypothesized relationships, but their apparent findings are not definitive, and there's much they cannot accomplish. Their results, however, can inform the design of slow and expensive longitudinal large-cohort studies that are definitive, for example. Dose-response studies and other studies, too, are elements of a rational scientific program to address cancer. ==References== * 1980, Statistical Methods in Cancer Research: Volume 1—The Analysis of Case-Control Studies, The International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France. * 1987, Statistical Methods in Cancer Research: Volume 2—The Design and Analysis of Cohort Studies, The International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France. * 1996, "Statistics in Epidemiology: The Case-Control Study", Journal of the American Statistical Association, 91(433): p 14-28. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norman Breslow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
