If you really feel uncomfortable around statistics, Senn and Maurer made this session more understandable and enjoyable. The audience laughed a lot, this is most likely the secret to Prof Senn's success with students. The presenters discussed how statistics or biostatistics has changed in the world of clinical R&D to a position of becoming an integral player in R&D.
Also discussed was the use of Bayesian statistics especially as new tools in analysis methods to support innovative and dynamic trial design. Both speakers discussed how dynamic a tool Bayesian statistics can be, and how effectively it can be used in the conclusion section when making a decision about a drug. Prof Senn's book, Dicing with Death, is a great way to get more expertise on the subject and laugh at the same time.
