After this presentation you should be able to:
Explain why there will be a major shift in clinical research
Explain how the publication process is being rerouted
Understand the implications of leveraged information
Explain how Analytics approaches the problems
Understand the common statistical processes
3. The old “eye ball test”
• What odd’s do you want to
take boarding an airplane?
• Six Sigma results in 1 fatal
commercial flight in 3.6
million
• Current hospital practice
results in 5% mortality or
worse…
Keep a sharp eye
5. Why do we like
dichotomous variables?
• True or False, Black or White, Ying or
Yang.
• A dichotomy is any splitting of a whole
into exactly two non-overlapping parts,
meaning it is a procedure in which a
whole is divided into two parts. It is
a partition of a whole (or a set) into two
parts (subsets) that are:
• jointly exhaustive: everything must
belong to one part or the other, and
• mutually exclusive: nothing can belong
simultaneously to both parts.
• Such a partition is also frequently called
a bipartition.
• The two parts thus formed
are complements. In logic, the partitions
are opposites if there exists
a proposition such that it holds over one
and not the other.

6. Risk
• The remarkable tale of risk,
is mankind’s epic battle
against the gods. Luca
Paccioli, born in about
1445, was a Franciscan
monk who published his
masterwork, Summa de
arithmetic, geometria et
proportionalita in 1494.
Among other notable
derivatives this popularized
(but did not invent) double
entry bookkeeping.

7. Life is Good
• Giralamo Cardano 16th century
physician (1500-1571) published
his autobiography De Vita
Propria Liber in which he
detailed his addiction to games
of vice and chance. More
importantly for our sake, he also
published Ars Magna in 1545
just 5 years after the appearance
of “+” and “-“. He also published
Liber de Ludo Alea (Book on
Games of Chance). Throughout
these works Cardano was laying
out calculations of probability.

8. Uncertainty
• Rarely however is there true
certainty. There a fundamental
limit to the precision with which
certain pairs of physical
properties can be known
simultaneously. For instance, the
more precisely the position of
some particle is determined, the
less precisely its momentum can
be known, and vice versa.[1] The
original heuristic argument that
such a limit should exist was
given by Werner Heisenberg in
1927, after whom it is
sometimes named
the Heisenberg principle.

14. E-prescribing
• The digitalization of patient prescriptions will
unleash a major paradigm shift
• This will also dramatically shift the current
role of Pharma in Clinical Research
• We will be able to correlate sentinel events,
e.g. death, admission, procedures such as
cardiac catheterization and surgical
procedures
