Overview:
For 15 years the scientific literature has repeatedly underlined the important lack of reproducibility and replicability of studies in biomedical research. As a consequence, several scientific organisations (journal, scientific societies, universities, national agencies) have identified some root causes to this issue and proposed good research practices to improve the replicability of the results. The misuse of statistical concepts, from design of studies to analysis of data to decision-making is at the heart of the crisis, even if not the only cause. In this webinar we will explain the how to understand the sequences of issues and how to fix it in order to drastically improve the replicability of the results. Through example the presentation will cover concepts such as OFAT vs DoE, p-values and Bayesian statistics and Power vs Assurance as easy opportunities to improve robustness of decisions.
4 key learnings attendees will take away from this webinar:
The value of good design of experiments
Consider Bayesian statistics to answer your question
P-values is not always what you’re looking for
Adopt a life-cycle over the long-run, not just study by study

Upcoming Events
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.
PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Course - 2024/2025
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 Training Course: Mixed Models and Repeated Measures
This course is presented through lectures and practical sessions using SAS code. It is suitable for statisticians working on clinical trials, who already have a good understanding of linear and generalised linear models.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
