Bill Pelkey, Ph.D.
Twenty-five years of clinical trial statistics, from the sponsor side and from inside FDA-CDRH.
Behind this pageHistogram of 2,400 simulated observations with the standard normal density; the darker bars fall inside the central 95% range.
I'm a biostatistician and clinical data scientist based in Loveland, Colorado. My background spans clinical research and applied statistics, with hands-on experience designing and analyzing studies across many indications.
I work primarily in R and am an expert SAS programmer. I'm comfortable with the full pipeline, from raw data cleaning to final submission-ready output, and I can build your clinical database in a modern EDC too.
Having reviewed submissions for FDA-CDRH, I know what reviewers look for and where statistical sections tend to draw questions.
