Synopsis
Pharmaceutical Statistics Using SAS: A Practical Guide offers extensive coverage of cutting-edge biostatistical methodology used in drug development and the practical problems facing today's drug developers. Written by well-known experts in the pharmaceutical industry Alex Dmitrienko, Christy Chuang-Stein, and Ralph D'Agostino, it provides relevant tutorial material and SAS examples to help readers new to a certain area of drug development quickly understand and learn popular data analysis methods and apply them to real-life problems. Step-by-step, the book introduces a wide range of data analysis problems encountered in drug development and illustrates them using a wealth of case studies from actual pre-clinical experiments and clinical studies. The book also provides SAS code for solving the problems. Among the topics addressed are these:
- drug discovery experiments to identify promising chemical compounds
- animal studies to assess the toxicological profile of these compounds
- clinical pha
