This resource provides computational assistance for tasks related to Research Skills for Clinicians (RSClin). It allows users to perform calculations and analyses relevant to clinical research methodologies through a web-based interface. An example includes statistical power calculations necessary for study design, offering estimations of sample sizes needed to detect statistically significant effects.
Its significance lies in streamlining complex calculations, thereby facilitating the planning and execution of robust clinical studies. By automating these processes, researchers can focus on other aspects of their investigation. Historically, such calculations were performed manually or with specialized statistical software, often requiring extensive training. This resource makes these tools more accessible, potentially improving the quality and efficiency of clinical research.
