Tutorial 4: Clinical Statistics for Nonstatisticians

Overview

Tutorials are not included in the meeting registration and require a separate registration fee.

Tutorial Registration: 7:30am-8:30am

Statistics plays an important role in the design, collection, analysis, and interpretation of clinical and nonclinical information. While focusing on the basic statistical concepts relevant to clinical research, this tutorial will answer common questions and address topics such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, interim analysis, and methods for analyzing survival data and establishing non inferiority. Interactive discussions will emphasize thinking critically about data, making valid inferences, and understanding how statistics is an essential element of clinical investigations and medical communications. With limited use of computational formulas, this tutorial will increase the level of statistical knowledge of nonstatisticians so that collaborative efforts of statisticians and nonstatisticians on cross functional teams can be improved.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this tutorial, participants should be able to:

Recognize concepts such as variability, bias, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and P-values and their applications to current projects
Identify techniques for time-to-event data and interim analyses
Discuss the statistician’s collaborative role in the design, analysis, and interpretation of clinical data
Demonstrate how to establish clinical superiority, noninferiority, and equivalence
Effectively speak to coworkers and management using statistical terms
