Nitin Patel

Nitin Patel, a distinguished management scientist and Fellow of the American Statistical Association, co-founded Cytel in 1987 along with Cyrus Mehta. Cyrus and Nitin hoped to make modern methods in statistics and operations research accessible to clinical researchers by creating quality software for statistical analyses.

A widely respected expert in the development of fast and accurate computer algorithms for the implementation of computationally intensive statistical methods, Nitin has played a leading role in pioneering Cytel’s StatXact® and LogXact® software. These award winning software packages are popular tools for exact, nonparametric inference analysis.
