Applied Surrogate Endpoint Evaluation Methods with SAS and R

An important factor that affects the duration, complexity and cost of a clinical trial is the endpoint used to study the treatment’s efficacy. When a true endpoint is difficult to use because of such factors as long follow-up times or prohibitive cost, it is sometimes possible to use a surrogate endpoint that can be measured in a more convenient or cost-effective way. This book focuses on the use of surrogate endpoint evaluation methods in practice, using SAS and R.Applied Surrogate Endpoint Evaluation Methods with SAS and R By: Ariel Alonso Publisher: Chapman & Hall Print ISBN: 9781482249361, 1482249367 other ISBNs: 9781482249378, 1482249375 Copyright year: 2016
