speaker:
Andrew W. Lyon (BSc, PhD Queen’s University; Clinical Chemistry fellow: Univ. Ottawa; Clinical Toxicology fellow: Univ. Washington). I am a general clinical biochemist. I have worked in Saskatoon and Calgary and I am currently Division Head of Biochemistry at Sidra Medicine hospital in Doha, Qatar. I have served leadership roles with the Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists, in provincial societies, the Canadian Academy of Clinical Biochemistry and was IFCC website editor 2009-2011. I have a variety of research interests including point-of-care testing, cannabinoids, cardiac and diabetes biomarkers and lab utilization.
overview:
This lecture will describe statistical applications used to enhance and extend the evaluation of methods. I am pleased to be nominated for this presentation by the CSCC Archives committee and this lecture provides an opportunity for me to reflect on my career. I will outline how and why we incorporated multivariate statistical models, Monte Carlo simulation models and quantile regression models in the analysis of bias and precision of measuring blood glucose, troponin and bilirubin.
learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to
1) Describe application and interpretation of multivariate statistical models for method evaluation.
2) Describe application and interpretation of Monte Carol simulation models for method evaluation.
3) Describe application and interpretation of quantile regression statistical models for method evaluation.
