Agenda & Minutes
Monthly Contributions
- Not much content this month, but per the below, lots on the way !
Content updates / assignments
We checked the assignments readme (under non-website content)
Survival – perhaps split into: non parametric, parametric (rather than AFT & non-proportional hazards), Update readme.md table to assign these rows to the survival team.
Team will meet again in 2 weeks.Negative binomial content has been posted, it’s a comparison, but would now be quick to write the SAS page. ACTION: Orla to ask the Novartis team to add that too.
Keaven/Yulia – Group sequential designs: pull request internally east vs R – not doing comparison yet, but will do in future.
QUESTIONS: Do we need to use SAS enterprise or SAS studio and should we state the version that gave the output? It’s probably good practice to do this in case something change. For R, we should use renv, any problem ask Christina. The R/Python code runs each time so output will be current per version being used. Only sas is static.
22nd July – Novartis hackathon 150 signed up. Need to provide Orla with ideas of what we want them to look at. Stats SMEs will also review before doing pull requests. Possible topics could be:
Negative binomial – comparison & SAS code Beecer – covariate adjustment for logistic regression
Logistic regression page update – improve content & investigate why p value different.
MANOVA – why R different to SAS
Friedman test, Jonckheere test, bionomial, R / sas /comp both needed
Correlation in SAS
Christina may need help to review pull request. Both Pfizer, Novartis & merck will have internal reviews prior to pull requests so review can be reduced.

Brainstorming session
How can we engage wider to increase content creation?
PSI : enews,
PHUSE bi-weekly news: Let Alexandra Peace (mailto:workinggroups@phuse.global) know of any events we are attending or new content we worked on and she will share in a weekly summary of progress.
Could volunteer to host hackathons for conferences. Christina & orla volunteering to host a hackathon for R in pharma this week.
Advertise to PSI/PHUSE RE: if you have Findings please add an issue (even if you can’t look into it yourself).
Special media post to Thank you Merck, Pfizer, Novartis for your contributions. Also companies can post what they’ve contributed. New content blogs. -
