Pharmaceutical Statistics has just published a special issue in honour of Andy Grieve to celebrate his 70th birthday, guest edited by Stephen Senn and Mike K. Smith, with a foreword by Sir Adrian Smith.
The authors of the assembled papers have either collaborated with Andy as a colleague or co-author or have been influenced by his work. Their varied and interesting contributions, which, as is fitting in view of the scope of Andy’s work, cover professional, practical, and methodological aspects of biostatistics as applied to the pharmaceutical industry.
The articles in the issue are:
