Content of a statistical analysis plan

Developing a statistical analysis plan (SAP) is a critical component of designing and conducting research studies which influences collection, analysis, and interpretation of data.  A well written SAP prevents research waste, provides transparency, can be published on its own, allows replication of the study by independent researchers, can help when writing the manuscript.

This seminar repeats the topics from the workshop "Developing your own statistical analysis plan" and thus is intended for participants who had not taken the earlier workshop.
