A Small Sample of Data Analysis Problems in Drug Research
Abstract: This example driven presentation outlines some of the basic types of studies
traditionally conducted in the pharmaceutical industry. Both animal and human
research activities are presented. Special attention is given to statistical
analysis issues. Some brief study descriptions and their corresponding data
sets can be found at http://www.math.iup.edu/~tshort/Bradstreet. Students in
the Friday afternoon Statistics in Medicine class can choose individual homework
assignments based upon these data sets. Further opportunities include writing
data set based teaching papers, and potential research topics. In addition, a
high level introduction to newer areas of statistical initiatives will be provided.
