Dear pharmacometricians! Are you going to PAGE 2024 in Rome? On Tuesday June 25th, Leiden University will organize a hands-on satellite workshop "copula for covariate simulation in R".
Copulas can be used to estimate covariate distributions and relationships and simulate new patient covariate sets. Recently, we proposed this method for covariate simulation in a previous PAGE talk<https://www.page-meeting.org/default.asp?abstract=10099> and recent paper<https://ascpt.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpt.3099>. Sign up to find out what the copula is and to learn how to use it on your own data. By the end of this workshop you will * have a theoretical understanding of (vine) copulas; * understand the estimation process of copulas on data; * be able to fit a copula on data and simulate from the copula; * be able to visualize and evaluate the fit of the copula and simulated populations; * be able to use simulated covariates in a population PK/PD simulation Prerequisites: We expect you to have previous experience in R and bring your laptop with an installation of R. Date: Tuesday, 25th June, 2024 Time: 13:00 – 17:00 Fees: €150 for industry, €75 for academics Registration: link<https://www.nowonlinetickets.nl/Shop/EventDetails/AAAB7FB0112A9B76332245B535DC3EC7> For more information please visit the PAGE website or the webpage for the workshop: https://laurazwep.com/copulas-for-covariate-simulation-in-r/ Laura B.
