Upcoming Events

PSI VisSIG Wonderful Wednesdays

Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.

PSI VisSIG Webinar: Rapid Insights to Data

The field of data visualization is the intersection of data journalism, statistics, graphic design, computer science, neuroscience, and cognitive psychology. We will focus on the latter two fields of data visualization as it relates to data visualization: neuroscience and cognitive psychology.

PSI One-Day Meeting: Non-proportional hazards and applications in immuno-oncology

Hear about potential strategies to handle non-proportional hazards and delayed treatment effects from experts in the field.

PSI One-Day Meeting: Missing Data in Clinical Trials - Past, Present and Future

At this meeting we will present the evolution of missing data approaches, looking at how they have been handled in the past, the current established missing data approaches and the impact of the new ICH E9 R1 addendum on the handling of missing data, focussing in particular on the treatment policy estimand.

PSI Training Course: R for SAS Users

R is quickly gaining popularity within the pharmaceutical industry due to it being a very powerful object-orientated language, and is able to produce analyses and high quality graphics. This will be a hands-on interactive course and will utilise the RStudio Cloud development environment.
