The aim of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of missing data, its link with what is to be estimated in a study (the “estimand”), and statistical modelling approaches. The 2 day course includes workshops: participants will undertake a number of practical exercises on missing data in SAS.
The course will provide participants the opportunity to gain insight into some of the more useful new methodologies for missing data, with a view to being at the service of the real scientific question of interest. Multiple imputation (MI) will be emphasised – due to this method’s flexibility.
Attendees will require a laptop with access to SAS.
The following topics will be covered:
- History of research into missing data
- Prevention of missing data and impact on study power
- Missing Data and its relation to the estimand
- Estimands and their models
- Multiple imputation I: models for missing data
- Weighting I: weighting for missing data
- Multiple imputation II: methods for non-continuous endpoints
- Weighting II: augmenting weighed data with model estimates
- Composite endpoints
- Case studies
Course runs from:
10:00 - 17:00 (registration from 09:00) on Day 1
09:00 - 16:00 on Day 2
Registration
Registration costs include lunch and refreshments. PSI are holding a limited number of hotel rooms until the 31st January 2018 which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars
Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
The event will open with an overview on drug development in women’s health from a clinician perspective. This talk is followed by talks about statistical challenges when planning IVF studies and analysing the menstrual cycles.
This webinar will provide an overview of surrogacy for licensing and reimbursement. In turn, the need of extensions of the SPIRIT and CONSORT statement will be defined and outlined, with case studies to support.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Pre-Clinical SIG Webinar: Virtual Control Groups in Toxicity Studies
Lea Vaas will present how replacement of concurrent control animals by Virtual Control Groups (VCGs) in systemic toxicity studies may help in contributing to the 3R's principle of animal experimentation: Reduce, Refine, Replace.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Data Science SIG Webinar: Developing Digital Measures (Digital Biomarkers) in Drug Development – insights from Mobilise D consortium
We will share a brief overview of what Mobilise D is and why it is an important step stone in the development of digital biomarkers, and how Mobilise D outputs can be relevant for you.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
PSI Webinar: Development of Gene Therapies: Strategic, Scientific, Regulatory and Access Considerations
This webinar will cover the history of cell/gene therapy, major regulatory advances, the role of quantitative scientists in drug development of these novel therapeutics, and discuss opportunities for innovation and product advancement.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
