Course 1: New Graphical Methods for Clinical Trials

Overview

Short Course* Registration: 7:30-8:30AM

In the never-ending quest to replace tables with graphics, new graphics solutions to common data display problems in clinical trials are becoming more readily available. This short course will focus on high-information graphics that faithfully convey characteristics of data and summary statistics using such tools as extended box plots, dot charts, and spike histograms. With the rapid evolution of HTML5 and html notebooks, new possibilities now exist, and graphics can be less cluttered with more information made available by merely hovering with the mouse or clicking the legend to activate the display of additional data layers.

*Short Courses are not included in the forum registration and require a separate fee.
