Dear Fellow Statisticians,
We are excited to announce an upcoming short course hosted by the West Tennessee Chapter of ASA (WTASA). Titled "Causal Inference and AI/ML in Pharmaceutical Statistics," the short course will take place on March 12 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM CST.
We are honored to feature Dr. Yixin Fang, Director of Medical Affairs and Health Technology Assessment Statistics, and a Research Fellow of AbbVie Community of Science, as our distinguished speaker.
This course has a registration fee of $20, which will support the WT ASA Chapter. Once registered, you will receive the Zoom link for the short course. If you miss the live session, the recording and slides will be sent to you afterward. A receipt will also be provided upon registration.
We appreciate your participation and support in advancing statistical learning and professional development!
Abstract:
This short course introduces the basic concepts and fundamental methods of causal inference relevant to pharmaceutical statistics. Starting with the central questions in drug development and the roles of causal inference and AI/ML in answering them, the short course consists of three parts: (1) estimand framework, (2) efficient estimators, and (3) targeted learning. The short course covers causal thinking for different types of commonly used study designs in the pharmaceutical industry, including but not limited to randomized controlled clinical trials, single-arm clinical trials with external controls, and real-world evidence studies. The short course concludes with a case study along with a roadmap to conduct causal inference in clinical studies. The materials covered in this short course are extracted from the instructor's book, Causal Inference in Pharmaceutical Statistics, published by Chapman & Hall/CRC in 2024.
