Abstract

This example driven presentation outlines some of the basic types of studies traditionally conducted in the pharmaceutical industry. Both animal and human research activities are presented. Special attention is given to statistical analysis issues. Some brief study descriptions and their corresponding data sets can be found at http://www.math.iup.edu/~tshort/Bradstreet. Students in the Friday afternoon Statistics in Medicine class can choose individual homework assignments based upon these data sets. Further opportunities include writing data set based teaching papers, and potential research topics. In addition, a high level introduction to newer areas of statistical initiatives will be provided.
