With the slogan “Navigating the Sea of Data: Biometrics Guides the Way”, the 70th Biometric Colloquium took place at the University of Lübeck from February 28 – March 01, 2024.
While various topics were presented, Maria Stark, Senior Data Scientist at Staburo GmbH, delved into practical aspects of planning and analyzing diagnostic studies in the “Statistics in Practice” invited session.
The talk was a joint work together with her former colleagues of Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf. They covered several aspects such as the choice of a study design, definition of an estimand, calculation of the sample size and the analysis and report of the study results.
The conference was a successful event, featuring three keynote presentations on statistical methods in high-dimensional genetic data, insights in the work at the European Medicines Agency and causal inference.
This memorable experience for our colleague, Maria Stark, was concluded with a networking dinner hosted at the venue of the traditional restaurant “Schiffergesellschaft,” followed by a guided city tour of Lübeck.
