A PSI Training Course on Missing Data

Heathrow , UK
Crowne Plaza Hotel

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

Upcoming Events

PSI VisSIG Wonderful Wednesdays

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.

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.

PSI Vaccine & COVID-19 SIGs Joint Webinar: Statistics, Vaccine Development, and the COVID-19 Crisis

The first talk will be about "Introduction to Statistical Methods and Challenges in Vaccine Development" by Ivan Chan and the second talk will be about "Vaccine quintet. Statistical issues in the design and analysis of five vaccine programmes" by Stephen Senn.

PSI Training Course: Use of Historical Data in Clinical Trials: An Evidence Synthesis Approach

In this short course, we will provide a statistical framework to incorporate external information into a trial. Bayesian Dynamic Borrowing designs based on the meta-analytic predictive (MAP) model will be detailed, and a practice session will be proposed with applications using the R package RBesT.

PSI Medical Statistics Careers Event

Our annual PSI Medical Statistics Careers Event, will be held online on Wednesday 2nd March 2022. The event will include a live online panel discussion and a virtual exhibition session.
