Clear, unambiguous technical reports and procedures are of vital importance in the pharmaceutical industry. They are used to communicate the outcomes of product development work and investigations, and may be reviewed by the FDA, or other regulatory bodies, if they form part of a regulatory submission. On this course, participants will learn how to analyze and present technical data in a clear and concise manner. They will produce powerful charts and graphs using the graphics tools in Microsoft Excel® and will design compelling tables making data comparison a powerful tool for the target audience.
Important statistical methods such as evaluation of outliers, analysis of variance, experimental design and estimation of uncertainty will be covered. The elements of effective standard operating procedures will also be explained.
