This book presents the proceedings of the 39th annual Midwest
Biopharmaceutical Statistics Workshop (MBSW), held in Muncie, Indiana on
May 16–18, 2016. It consists of selected peer- reviewed and revised
papers on topics ranging from statistical applications in drug discovery
and CMC to biomarkers, clinical trials, and statistical programming.
All contributions feature original research, and together they cover the
full spectrum of pharmaceutical R&D – with a special focus on
emergent topics such as biosimilarity, bioequivalence, clinical trial
design, and subgroup identification.
Founded in
1978, the MBSW has provided a forum for statisticians to share
knowledge, research, and applications on key statistical topics in
pharmaceutical R&D for almost forty years, with the 2016 conference
theme being “The Power and 3 I’s of Statistics: Innovation, Impact and
Integrity.” The papers gathered here will be of interest to all
researchers whose work involves the quantitative aspects of
pharmaceutical research and development, including pharmaceutical
statisticians who want to keep up-to-date with the latest trends, as
well as academic statistics researchers looking for areas of
application.
