Dear D. Labes!

❝ […] But what can we do if a regulative authority :no: is missing all the discussions and results in the scientific community?


Everybody should actively challenge the draft at conferences, use personal contacts with regulators, and send comments until Jan 31st, 2009 to [email protected] using this M$-Word-template.

❝ Our sponsors in most cases take guidances not as such but as unalterable law! They dont like to have deficiency letters only because a letter of a guidance was not followed strictly.


Yes, I know… I think it's part of our business to explain to them, that they should act right now. Once the guideline is finalized, they will only have two options - if deviating from the guideline, come up with a justification beforehand (probably also aiming for a scientific advice) and cross their fingers, or strictly follow the track (which will result in ridiculous sample sizes, more studies in patients, etc.)…

❝ I suspect "We HAVE to be just sheep". Meanwhile I will try to adapt to eat hey ;-).


You will have to grow a lot of gut since the ratio of lengths (body/gut) is 1:6 for man and 1:24 for sheep. You should change your nutrition to vegetables only, otherwise you will suffer from putrefaction of meat. ;-)

More than two thirds of publications in ‘Biometrics’ and ‘Statistics in Medicine’ are based on Bayesian and/or Nonparametric methods.
I’m really glad that regulators in the BE-fields rely solely on methods based on the t-distribution, introduced exactly 100 years ago by William S. Gosset, aka “A Student of Statistics” (1876-1937). :angry:
