PSI Book Club
PSI are starting a book club! We will be reading/discussing non-technical books relevant to our roles. Participants will be split into smaller groups to network with each other and practice exercises.
Small Populations SIG

Our objectives include:
- Exchange information & share case studies of statistical/methodological challenges in the area of small populations

Resources
The SIG Small Populations has been working to identify publications that would be useful for statisticians working in studies with small populations. The topics that were chosen as of interest were extrapolation, historical controls, and meta-analytic priors.
Subgroups were set up to work on each of these topics. A literature search was performed to identify publications of potential interest. These were then reviewed within the subgroups and those deemed most relevant and useful were identified. The attached slides list the publications recommended for each topic with a brief description of the content and the reason for the recommendation.
- Extrapolation (selected publications) (Last update 2019)
- Historical Controls (selected publications) (Last update 2019)
- Meta-Analytic Priors (selected publications) (Last update 2019)
