Full Course Description: (Bio)statisticians and data scientists are effective at utilizing cutting-edge methodologies to address the complexities of data in order to produce meaningful results. Despite this technical prowess, quantitative scientists struggle to communicate the story contained within these data to their non-statistical colleagues. Given the volume of data to review, the variety of analyses to perform, and the need to turn findings into actionable outcomes, it should come as no surprise that clear insight is often out of reach to the research team. The traditional means of data summary – static tables and listings – are ineffective for understanding the story hiding in plain sight; data visualization is the key to effective communication for the modern quantitative scientist. The goal of this short course is to describe visualization methodologies to aid in the interpretation and communication of data from applications in clinical trials and other life science topics. Categorical, continuous, and time-to-event endpoints are discussed, and numerous practical illustrations are presented. To supplement lectures on subject matter, participants will utilize JMP software to reinforce concepts and gain hands-on experience in producing effective data visualizations.
