Life sciences companies face increasing pressure to expand clinical analytics beyond traditional SAS workflows to support more flexible analyses, richer visualizations and faster access to evolving statistical methods. Using open-source languages such as R alongside the commercial SAS language provides access to distinct capabilities and methodologies enabled by the rapid evolution of open-source technology. This webinar will explore how to adopt R alongside SAS while maintaining the validation controls required for compliant clinical use.
With frequent changes and the ability for anyone to contribute, open-source languages rapidly evolve. However, these also introduce significant challenges for validation, a critical component of any technology used for the development and analysis of clinical data.
In this webinar, the featured speakers will outline a practical approach to validating R as an open-source technology. With this approach, attendees will be able to balance rapid adoption of evolving open-source technologies with appropriate controls to ensure that analytic outputs are valid and compliant for clinical use.
Register for this webinar to learn how clinical analytics can be validated when R and SAS are used together for compliant clinical data analysis.
