Admin / 2024 Goals

Couple of meetings back Martin mentioned interest from someone in the US to join AIMS. Upon further communication, found that she had moved from academia to industry and was just interested in finding orientation. So provided some information particularly relevant to US industry groups.

Minutes now to be included on website and not sent out in a word document.

Martin outlined some potential areas for goals in 2024:

  • Website release/communication
  • Events
  • R training open source release
  • Clinical flow chart diagram for R (from data to output)
  • Data science collaboration on using R with AI/ML

PSI Conference / 2024 events

Discussed PSI conference abstract rejection notes

General feeling from committee that R validation has been done?

Set out problem/landscape more and then response to that in session

Will look to meet with Adam Crisp and discuss conference issues

  • PSI conference more set to individuals now?
  • Conference is a good opportunity to get together as a SIG
  • Pressure to reduce travel so focus on 1 conference where attendance based on presenting

Possible to do decent workshops online if effort put in

GitHUB workshop plans - September - 4 x 1 hour

Alex not able to present (Kevin could potentially instead?), Irene to help with prep before maternity leave

Novo Nordisk - dont have any elements written down

  • Can we get their information as a blog?
  • Information all in separate webinars
  • Better to get understanding from quicker mediums like blogs.

Speak to Florian about raw data pilot and get more information on that?

R Training Open Source

Andy - Training material shared with Mike Smith and R consortium

Get done by February - take a look and reassess once released

Poster Ideas / Clinical Flow Chart Diagram for R

What makes good online training? Programming element

Leveraging shiny apps for remote training - blog about it?

CAMIS - Wilcoxon signed rank test

Gap - Look at from a statistician point of view

  • Sample size
  • Subgroup analysis

Pharma statistics packages

Simplifying pharmaverse - cannot simplify?

Data Science Collaboration

Reaching out to data science SIG as a first step

Potentially too much effort to push an idea forward

See where they are, what there focus is currently

R Industry Working Groups feedback

CAMIS (Lyn) - good recent progress - new people, new content, enthusiasm exponentially growing

Busy!

Expanded leadership with Harshal and Chi

Can we get someone to either join R validation Hub or someone from there to join AIMS?

Or just ask them for updates? Important to keep relationship

Set up quarterly updates? Lyn reached out to Juliane and Doug

Pharmaverse (Christina) Looking to make Admiral more stable and preparing for conferences.

RTRS (Christina) bookdown more stabilised - making more organic

Openstatsware updates from Kevin and website

Submissions working group updates from website

Any other active working groups - none that we know of.
