Webinar: Global Sensitivity Analysis of Randomized Trials with Informative Drop-out

When:  Sep 20, 2016 from 12:00 to 14:00 (ET)
Associated with  Biopharmaceutical Section
We present a formal methodology for conducting sensitivity analysis of randomized trials in which outcomes are scheduled to be measured at fixed points in time after randomization and some subjects prematurely withdraw from study participation. We motivate our methods by a placebo-controlled randomized trial designed to evaluate a treatment for bipolar disorder. We present a comprehensive data analysis and a simulation study to evaluate the performance of our methods. A software package entitled SAMON (R and SAS versions) that implements our methods is available at www.missingdatamatters.org
