Wednesday 2 November 2005
Medical and Pharmaceutical Statistics Research Unit
The University of Reading, UK
Speakers:
Kim Bolland (Senior Research Fellow, The University of Reading)

Tropical Medicine)
Gordon Murray (Professor of Medical Statistics, University of Edinburgh)
Bart Spiessens (Biostatistician, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Belgium)
Summary:
This one-day symposium examines different statistical methods that can be
used to analyse repeated binary or ordinal data. The meeting will start with
an introduction of the issues faced with analysing such data in clinical
trials. An overview of the different methods that are currently available
will be given. The introduction will be followed by presentations concerning
specific methods, such as the subject-specific model, the Generalised
Estimating equations (GEE) model, and use of a sliding dichotomy. Plenty of
time will be allocated to questions and discussion throughout the day.
The symposium will be of interest to statisticians who would like to learn
about repeated binary or ordinal data for the first time, or who are already
working with these types of data.
Registration:
