Joint Meeting of PSI and RSS Medical Section
Simulation Applications in Medical and Pharmaceutical Statistics
25 October 2011 09:30 - 17:00
Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX
Simulation is an integral part of modern statistics. It can used as a tool to evaluate the properties of statistical procedures, is often an integral part of the process of designing studies and may figure in the analysis of trial data. This meeting will explore the various uses of simulation, drawing on real problems to provide the motivation and to illustrate the techniques.
