Enabling statisticians to lead through innovation and excellence - sponsored by PSI
This episode follows the outline of a webinar, that I presented in 2018 during a PSI webinar. I’m introducing cluster analysis and why you as a statistician need to know about it.
The title of the presentation was “Not all patients are created equal, but are there subgroups that are more homogenous?”
If you wonder about questions like:
[Read more…] about Introduction to cluster analysisThere’s a long tradition of statisticians working on clinical studies as well as other related data, e.g. pre-clinical data and observational data. In the advent of big data and data sciences, there’s a considerable pull from the business side of pharma to employ statistical approaches as well.
This leads to questions like:
[Read more…] about Data science or just statistics on non-medical data? A new horizon for statisticiansDo you want to learn where the health sector might be heading in terms of data science?
Do you understand the opportunities and barriers in terms of the application of data science?
Are you prepared to learn the individual skills needed for these changes?
Then this interview with Ursula from Cytel provides you with the relevant answers. We are talking about:
[Read more…] about Current trends in data science for pharma – findings from a qualitative survey and what we should do about it!It’s surely not the norm, that a statistician from the pharma sector ends up working for BBC. But Robert Cuffe has taken this step and needs to explain statistics to non-statisticians on a daily basis.
In this episode, he shares the different methods he’s using. We also dive into common pitfalls, that we as statisticians trap into.
Finally, we also learn, how we can improve our publications to make sure, that the science is reported correctly in the broader news

Are you forced to use SAS but would like to use R instead?
Would you like to understand how you can make R submission proof?
Then this interview with Lyn Tailor and Craig McIlloney helps you. Both work on the PSI special interest group Application and Implementation of Methodologies in Statistics (AIMS) on this topics.
Furthermore, we cover the following topics:
