Chapter 7 Clinical Statistics in R

In the meantime, there are numerous R-packages that have been developed specifically for statistical analyses in the clinical field. Some packages will be presented here in more detail. First, however, attention should be drawn to a PHUSE initiative (Clinical Statistical Reporting in a Multilingual World) that compared different methods between SAS and R. The goal was to work out differences and similarities in the outcome. For all users who use R to validate SAS output (or vice versa) it can be useful to know where different discrepancies can come from.
