Review

"Pharmaceutical Statistics Using SAS contains applications of cutting-edge statistical techniques using cutting-edge software tools provided by SAS. The theory is presented in down-to-earth ways, with copious examples, for simple understanding. For pharmaceutical statisticians, connections with appropriate guidance documents are made; the connections between the document and the data analysis techniques make 'standard practice' easy to implement. In addition, the included references make it easy to find these guidance documents that are often obscure. Specialized procedures, such as easy calculation of the power of nonparametric and survival analysis tests, are made transparent, and this should be a delight to the statistician working in the pharmaceutical industry, who typically spends long hours on such calculations. However, non-pharmaceutical statisticians and scientists will also appreciate the treatment of problems that are more generally common, such as how to handle dropouts and missing values, assessing reliability and validity of psychometric scales, and decision theory in experimental design. I heartily recommend this book to all." --Peter H. Westfall, Professor of Statistics, Texas Tech University

"This book is an ideal overview of some of the many important issues arising in the pharmaceutical industry, and can be read as such. Students anticipating a career in pharmaceutical statistics will benefit particularly: these are topics that form the backbone of statistics in the industry but that are not generally taught as part of an M.S. or Ph.D. program. Implementation using SAS is admirably detailed, but even non-users of SAS will find the book useful." --Raymond J. Carroll, Distinguished Professor of Statistics, Nutrition and Toxicology, Texas A&M University

"The book should be a very useful guide for practicing statisticians. What impressed me most was its breadth; it covers all stages of drug development, from preclinical testing to early clinical studies and late-stage clinical studies. The editors have pulled together an excellent set of authors, including experts from the pharmaceutical industry and prominent academics." --Steve Snapinn, Executive Director, Clinical Development Biostatistics Amgen, Inc.
