This is something I hope they never do to my work:
Joint RSS/MRC/NIHR HTA meeting on Futility Analysis in Clinical Trials
p{font-size:80%}. (sorry, I can’t get the link to go to the right page)
Ah, a quick google helps me find out that futility analysis is a form of interim analysis, i.e. you look at the data before the experiment is finished to see if it is worth continuing.
I have come across experiments where that should have been done that before the start.
That sounds like a cool job title.
“What do you do?”
“I’m a futility analyst”.
Every University should have one.
Isn’t ‘futility analyst’ just another name for ‘graduate student’?
Sorry. It appears I am still bitter.
I used to be apathetic, but now I couldn’t give a damn.
