Press Release Body = Palo Alto, California -- January 15, 2007, PREMIER Biosoft
International today announced the release of its new product, TMA Foresight. TMA
Foresight is a statistical tool for tissue microarray data analysis designed
especially for pathologists, clinicians and researchers.
TMA Foresight can be used for a wide variety of analysis ranging from simple
descriptive statistics that include mean, sum, and variance to more advanced data
correlation such as Hierarchical clustering and Kaplan Meier plots. You can explore
the relatedness of prognostic marker expression and clinico-pathological variates
with the outcome. Cox\'s Proportional Hazard analysis can be used for prognostic
marker identification. Hierarchical clustering can be used to group patients on the
basis of a clinico-pathological parameter or a biomarker. Kaplan-Meier plots and
log-rank tests can then be used to identify prognostically significant clusters. You
can threshold a particular marker and stratify patients into high risk and low risk
cohorts.
TMA Foresight enables easy data pre-processing. It helps map the character data to
numeric values with a click of a button. Moreover, the measurement level of each
variable can be conveniently defined for use in different statistical analysis.
Says Kay Brown, V.P. Business Development and Marketing, \"The tissue microarray
market, is predicted to grow at 42% per year to over $163 million by 2008. We have
designed TMA Foresight seeing the need for an easy-to-use specialized data analysis
software tool.\"
