Upcoming Webinar - Statistics for Medical Writers
AMWA is pleased to bring you the first webinar of 2026. Presented by Dr Richard Kay, this webinar will give you a clear, logical structure
for thinking about statistical methodology in pharmaceutical R&D. You'll be introduced to methods used in different settings, which are
driven by the endpoint type, with a particular focus on binary (odds ratios, relative risks) and time to event (Kaplan-Meier curves, hazard
ratios) endpoints. Ideas behind p-values, confidence intervals, and powering a study to detect important levels of effect will be covered.
Each concept will be illustrated with case studies.
