Framework for Estimating Policy Estimands

In the world of statistics, information can sometimes be missing in data sets, leading to a challenge in understanding how well treatments may work. Policy estimands are used to understand efficacy based on early treatment decisions. Various approaches, like reference-based imputation and delta adjustment, exist to speculate what may have happened after treatment was discontinued.

In this episode, Alberto and I discuss how his new approach can handle different scenarios with missing data and can estimate policy estimands for faster results. As a 26-year veteran of the pharma statistics industry that recently completed his PhD research, Garcia brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this topic.

So, let's dive into the details of this innovative framework for estimating policy estimands such as the following:
