    R Govys is co-sponsored by the ASA, the R Consortium, and Data Community DC. We host a monthly virtual meet-up to discuss topics of interest to most statisticians and data scientists, regardless of where one works. You do not need to be a govy to join us! Read this CHANCE article  https://chance.amstat.org/2022/09/rgovys/  to learn more.

     The first meeting of 2023 will take place on January 19, 3:00 PM (ET). Our speaker is Daniel Sabanés Bové. Daniel is Senior Principal Data Scientist at F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. At Roche he leads a team building tools for statisticians to do better work. He is committed to growing open-source tools in pharma. 

     Daniel will share the experiences of ASA Biopharmaceutical Section (BIOP) Software Engineering Working Group (SWE WG) from the - how they came together as a group of more than 20 organizations so far, and what types of problems they are trying to solve in the Open Source for the Pharmaceutical industry. This session starts with describing the SWE WG, its motivations and purpose, and then digs into one of the packages that the group has created. The {mmrm} package will be demoed, they will discuss why they have to be careful with the development of packages, and why it's not "yet another package". They will describe their long-term perspective on software engineering in the Pharmaceutical industry. There will be plenty of time to answer questions about this new working group and the {mmrm} package.
