Statistics and AnalyTics Core
The Statistics and Analytics (STAT) Core has expertise in many advanced quantitative analytic techniques and provides a wealth of information to investigators regarding data sources, analytic design, data set construction, and analyses. The Core delivers foundational mentoring to quality scholars, fellows and career development awardees to aid in their analytic skill development. STAT Core members communicate directly with the data warehouse to ensure the quality of data and act as an information source for investigators regarding a vast array of administrative data. The Core consults with investigators regarding viability of their research questions prior to grant submission, works with them to collect their own data, and conducts data analysis. In addition, the STAT Core participates in writing reports and manuscripts as well as developing posters and presentations for conferences as part of the larger effort to disseminate CADRE’s work.

Kelly Miell is Director of the Statistics and Analytics (STAT) Core. She works with investigators to determine feasibility of research proposals and analytic budgets prior to grant applications. She oversees all projects involving the STAT Core and conducts quantitative analyses. The analysis process includes exploring and understanding VAs vast administrative data repository, translating investigators’ research questions into clearly defined and measurable variables, data set construction, developing and executing statistical models. She assists investigators in producing reports, writing manuscripts and conference presentations. Kelly is a member of the VA Statisticians Association (VASA).
