Multiple Comparisons - Applications and Case Studies with SAS A Two-day Workshop Peter Westfall and Dror Rom

This workshop provides a unique opportunity to learn about one of the most important and practically relevant areas of applied statistics, which also has an enormous impact on the way researchers and reviewers interpret multiple inferences from a given study. This area has become increasingly popular with regulatory agencies, applied statisticians analyzing results from medical studies, reviewers of scientific papers and others.

Various MCP's will be discussed and applied to data from medical studies. Attention will be focused on multiple comparisons among several treatments, dose-response comparisons, multiple endpoints in clinical trials, animal carcinogenicity tests, multiple comparisons of survival distributions, multiple quality of life measures, etc. Special emphasis will be on both the researcher's and the reviewer's perspectives.

SAS procedures, including PROC GLM, PROC MIXED, PROC MULTTEST, and a new SAS application package, Multcomp, will be used to demonstrate different MCP's with practical, hands-on training.

Dates and locations:

Anaheim (Disneyland), California, January 6-7 San Francisco, California, January 9-10 Greenbelt, Maryland, March 17-18 Stratford, Connecticut, March 19-20
