A System to Build Distributed Multivariate Models and Manage Disparate Data Sharing Policies: Implementation in the Scalable National Network for Effectiveness Research

Conclusion Federated research networks need not limit distributed query functionality to count queries, cohort discovery, or independently estimated analytic models. Multivariate analyses can be efficiently and securely conducted without patient-level data transport, allowing institutions with strict local data storage requirements to participate in sophisticated analyses based on federated research networks.
