Overview
This course consists of 5 x 2-hour training sessions run over 5 weeks.
Each session will be repeated on two mornings per week (09:45am – 12:00pm), so attendees are able to pick which day they attend each week, out of the dates provided.
Session 1: Monday 17th May or Tuesday 18th May Session 2: Monday 24th May or Tuesday 25th May Session 3: Tuesday 1st June or Wednesday 2nd June Session 4: Monday 7th June or Tuesday 8th June Session 5: Monday 14th June or Tuesday 15th June
R is quickly gaining popularity within the pharmaceutical industry due to it being a very powerful object-orientated language, and is able to produce analyses and high quality graphics. It can be used for high performance computing and allows easy integration with other software.
This course is aimed at statisticians who are experienced with other software languages (such as SAS) and would like to increase their proficiency in R.
Participation will provide access to extensive course materials in the form of a ‘bookdown’ site. However, this is designed as a hands-on, interactive course. Both you and the trainers will work entirely within the RStudio Cloud development environment, which will remain accessible between virtual sessions in order to further explore and cement your understanding.
Topics covered include:
1. Introduction to R and RStudio
2. Data types and vectors
3. Welcome to tidyverse
4. Importing/exporting data
5. Handling data
6. Piping
7. Summaries and aggregation
8. Setting and merging
9. Transposing data
10. Introduction to statistical analysis in R
11. R Graphics with ggplot2
a. Layering
b. Aesthetics and groups
c. Graph types: geoms

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.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
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: Regulatory Guidelines for Statisticians
This 2-day course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory guidelines affecting statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry, including the latest updates in the field. The course will cover key International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and other key regional regulatory agency documents.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Pre-Clinical SIG Webinar: Efficient R&D: SVEM and Advanced DOE in Preclinical Toxicity Testing
This 1-hour webinar will be an opportunity to hear how JMP have been influential in the toxicity testing of an oncology formulation in a pre-clinical setting. At the end of the presentation there will also be the opportunity to ask questions.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Small Populations & RWD SIG Webinar: Harnessing Real-World Data (RWD) in clinical trials for small populations and rare diseases
In this webinar we will review the range of statistical methodologies used to harness the potential of Real-World Data (RWD) in clinical development, particularly in the context of rare diseases and small populations like paediatrics. The session will include theoretical understanding and practical case studies, with a special focus on Bayesian methods and causal inference.
In this event, we’ll start with a general introduction to hierarchical composite endpoints and an overview of common analysis methods including win ratio, win odds, and net benefit. Then, the practical considerations will be illustrated through case studies from clinical trials in heart failure and chronic kidney disease. We conclude with a discussion and a Q&A.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Pre-Clinical SIG Webinar: Virtual Control Groups in Toxicity Studies
Lea Vaas will present how replacement of concurrent control animals by Virtual Control Groups (VCGs) in systemic toxicity studies may help in contributing to the 3R's principle of animal experimentation: Reduce, Refine, Replace.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
