Antoniya and Ferdinand presented their current research findings at the 10th Survival Analysis for Junior Researchers (SAfJR) Conference in Bonn.
Jügen and Annika developed two new methods for mathematically modeling the temporal prevalence peak drift of chronic diseases, which have been published in BMC Medical Research Methodology.
Antoniya and Ferdinand were able to present their current research topics at the 14th Young Researchers Workshop of the Centre for Statistics (ZeSt).
Using meta-regression, Annika was able to investigate the potential for precision medicine for type 2 diabetes in a paper published in Acta Diabetologica.
At the AG Christmas party, we were able to recapitulate the year together over bowling and good food and gather plenty of energy for 2025.
A total of 18 participants from all over Germany discussed new developments in teaching biometry and their future design, especially in medical studies, in a workshop on the topic of "Biometry teaching on artificial intelligence" at the Medical School OWL. The workshop was organized by the AG Lehre und Didaktik der Biometrie of the International Biometric Society (German Region) and the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS), as well as the AG Biostatistics and Medical Biometry of the Medical School OWL. The ideas developed were finally summarized and will form the basis for a conference contribution at next year's Joint Statistical Meeting of the Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft Statistik.
Dina and Annika compare different models for the meta-analysis of ROC curves in a simulation study published in the Biometrical Journal.
The latest Biostatistics and Medical Biometry research was presented and discussed at the 69th GMDS Annual Conference in Dresden.
A paper by Ferdinand and Annika, published in Research Synthesis Methods, presents a new model for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies that takes into account multiple diagnostic thresholds per study.
Ferdinand presented a novel copula model for the meta-analysis of ROC curves at the symposium Recent Advances in Meta-Analysis in Göttingen.
Dina and Annika investigate the future economic impact of diabetes in Germany in a paper published in Population Health Metrics.
