Happy New Year.
We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to all of you on the beginning of the new year and wish you continued good health and prosperity.
At the Japan Institute of Statistical Technology (JIOST), we enter the new year with a renewed sense of mission as a professional organization specializing in statistical analysis. Through rigorous and impartial analyses grounded in scientific evidence, we remain fully committed to contributing to the advancement of medical, clinical, and academic research, as well as to a wide range of other fields.
In recent years, research data have become increasingly complex and sophisticated, and there is a growing demand for statistical analyses that ensure a high level of expertise, transparency, and reproducibility. Beyond providing analytical services alone, we place great importance on identifying the true essence of research questions and delivering accurate and meaningful answers. To this end, we uphold independence and neutrality as a third-party statistical institution.
In the coming year, we will continue to provide:
♦ High-quality statistical analyses for clinical and epidemiological research,
♦ Strategic analytical designs tailored to academic publications and conference presentations, and
♦ Careful, practical, and researcher-oriented statistical consulting.
Through these efforts, we aim to ensure that research findings are evaluated appropriately and translated into meaningful contributions to society.
Statistics serve as a language for shaping the future and as a compass for sound decision-making. To fully harness this power, we will continue to refine our expertise and strengthen our capabilities as a trusted professional group in statistical science.
We sincerely wish you a fruitful and successful year ahead and look forward to your continued guidance and support.
