PSI Training Course - Bayesian Practical Course using R and SAS

A PSI Training Course

Bayesian Practical Course using R and SAS

Presented by Marco Munda and Maud Hennion 

Venue: Crowne Plaza London - Heathrow, UB7 9NA, UK

This practical training course will give a deep dive into performing Bayesian analyses in R and SAS. It is aimed at statisticians who need to be able to conduct Bayesian analyses as part of their day to day work. By the end of the course participants will be able to conduct their own analyses.

  • The course will begin with an introduction into Bayesian general principles including prior distribution, likelihood, posterior distribution, predictive distribution and Bayesian vs frequentist inference
  • The course will then progress into learning how to implement Bayesian analyses in R: Stan and SAS: PROC MCMC
  • Examples of using Bayesian analyses in clinical trials will be discussed
  • This course will have a hands-on approach so participants must bring a laptop with R (latest version if possible), R studio and SAS installed (if available). The R Stan package should also be installed.

About the presenters:

Marco Munda holds a bachelor of mathematics, a master of statistics, and a PhD in statistics. Marco has been working at Pharmalex Belgium as a consultant in statistics for the pharmaceutical industry for the last 5 years.

Maud Hennion holds a master’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in Biostatistics (Université Catholique de Louvain).

Maud has been working at Pharmalex as a bio-statistician for the last 4 years. She has been mainly involved in pre-clinical and clinical studies (development of methodology of analysis, study simulation, study design, SAP and protocol writing, PK/PD analysis).

Upcoming Events

PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Course - 2025/2026

An introductory course giving an overview of the pharmaceutical industry and the drug development process as a whole, aimed at those with 1-3 years' experience. It comprises of six 2-day sessions covering a range of topics including Research and Development, Toxicology, Data Management and the Role of a CRO, Clinical Trials, Reimbursement, and Marketing.

PSI Estimand Online Training (4 Day Workshop)

This is an interactive online training workshop providing an in-depth review of the estimand framework as laid out by ICH E9(R1) addendum with inputs from estimand experts, case studies, quizzes and opportunity for discussions. You will develop an estimand in a therapeutic area of interest to your company. In an online break-out room, you will join a series of team discussions to implement the estimand framework in a case study, aligning estimands, design, conduct, analysis, (assumptions + sensitivity analyses) to the clinical objective and therapeutic setting.

Dissolution Testing: Time for Statistical (r)Evolution

Webinar dedicated to the topic of dissolution of oral solid dosage forms; opportunity to hear from statisticians working in the CMC field, with open question and answers. In addition, the CMC Statistical Network Europe special interest group will discuss advocacy opportunities, have your say to contribute to the future direction.

Pre-Clinical SIG: AI in Medicinal Products

Initially a brief introduction to AI will be given, followed by a presentation of various applications in medicinal product lifecycle. Several aspects will be discussed including performance, theoretical and practical conditions and also regulatory guidelines.
