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
https://www.page-meeting.org/default.asp?abstract=10099 and recent
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
