Statistical programming grant winners 2019

Members of the SCTO CTU Network can compete annually for a grant to develop statistical codes or programmes. Applicants must demonstrate that their codes are geared at improving clinical research and bringing fresh solutions to persisting difficulties. We congratulate the winners Dr Lukas Bütikofer, Dr Alan Hayes and Dr Thomas Zumbrunn.

In September 2019, two projects from four applicants were selected by the members of the Sta-tistics & Methodology Platform as 2019 award-winners:

• Dr Lukas Bütikofer & Dr Alan Haynes, CTU Bern, for Summary tables in R
• Dr Thomas Zumbrunn, CTU Basel, for Export tables and metadata to achieve the intended layout in any output format, R

Their products should soon be available for the global community of statisticians. You’ll find their products announced here.

The statistical programming competition is run by the SCTO’s Statistics & Methodology Platform.
