Abstract:
|
Clinical statistical programmers often leverage the statistical software to process data in the form of a data set, table, figure or listing. Frequently there are a set of rules, also known as programming specifications, which can enable a non-statistician to compute some of the most complex statistical results. These specifications are generally created by a seasoned biostatistician. However, in many cases, the programming specifications are not standard and are subject to variation and ambiguity. A programmer with an advanced degree in statistics is quite capable of closing those gaps which makes a programmer, who is a statistician, a very effective role in the clinical field.
