Our new R package

29.10.2015

As part of the work she’s doing for her PhD, Christina has done some (fairly major, I’d say!) review of the literature about prevalence studies on PCOS $-$ that’s a rather serious, albeit probably fair to say quite under-researched area. When it came to analysing the data she had collected, naturally I directed her towards doing some Baye...

More on stepped wedge

07.11.2015

A couple of months back I talked at the launch of the Trial series on the Stepped Wedge Designed, on which I have worked together with a number of colleagues at UCL and LSHTM. Jennifer, who’s one of the authors of the series and is doing her PhD on this topic, has also posted on the LSTHM blog to report her impressions of the day (all of whi...

The guide

04.01.2016

Before and over the Christmas break, Christina and I have done some more work on our bmeta package, which I’ve already mentioned in another post, here $-$ well, to be fair, Christina has done most of the work; I was being annoying suggesting changes to the maths formatting and thinking about potential new plots or additions just one second aft...

I will survive!

25.01.2016

Here’s a very long post, to make up for the recent silence on the blog… Lately, I’ve been working on a new project involving the use of survival analysis data and results, specifically for health economic evaluation (cue Cake’s rendition below).I have to say I’m not really a massive expert on survival analysis, in the sense that it’s ...

Semi-finished

03.03.2016

I’ve finally managed to have a reasonably functional release for SWSamp, my package for simulation-based sample size calculations, specifically (but not necessarily just!) for a Stepped Wedge design trial. There are still a few details that we need to polish and more importantly we need to work on the documentation, which is not great, at the m...

Short course on Statistical Methods for the Value of Information Analysis

11.03.2016

We’re now ready to start the advertisement for our short course on Statistical Methods for the Value of Information Analysis (I’ve posted about this here). The course will be at UCL from the 8th to the 9th of June, later this year. I think we have been lucky to secure some funding and so it will be relatively cheap $-$ it’s also convenientl...
