Job Comparison Data Scientist vs Statistical Programmer US CA SF Statistical Programmer (Pharmaceutical) 360 84 27 Data Scientist (Pharmaceutical) 1645 339 145 Approx. 1 in 5 (22%) 1 in 4 (25%) 1 in 5 (19%) Statistical Programmer vs Data Scientist All Industries: 1000:16,000 WUSS 2018

Pharmaceutical Programmers have industry specific knowledge and domain expertise CDISC Standards Pharma programmer needs ability to implement CDISC SDTM and ADaM data standards. Statistical Methods For Clinical Trials Therapeutic Area Knowledge Regulated Environment Pharma Programmer understands a regulated environment, knows and follows GCP and ICH guidelines. Data scientist in other disciplines may face much less regulation. Pharma Programmer must apply the right statistical models for clinical trial data to study design, data collection, and analysis. Data Scientist is tasked with building predictive models and developing machine learning capabilities to analyze data. Vs. WUSS 2018

Comparison of Job Descriptions Data Scientist Statistical Programmer Select and apply a computational approach to advance the product development. Identify data that supports multi-functional groups progress and objectives. Designs, develops, modifies programs to analyze & evaluate clinical trial data. Create study specific and ad hoc listings summary tables figures. Summary Apply variety of analytics to identify trends or insights from multiple data sources/streams. Knowledge of many prog. languages and technologies, less of any expert in any one. Construct prototypes of analytics workflows. Design and construct new processes for data modeling and production using prototypes, algorithms, predictive models, custom analysis. Communicates to multiple functional groups across organization. Statistical programming expertise (SAS, R) CDISC hands on experience Study lifecycle from Protocol to TFL Therapeutic area expertise Regulatory support, ISS/ISE data integration, reports, SDRG and ADRG Manage and audit programming documentation Communicates with Biometrics groups, CRO’s, Data Managers, Medical Affairs and statisticians. Skills Software Python, R, Tensorflow, Tableau used more SAS, R Programming, SAS datasets, CSV files Spotfire used more Edu. MS or PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science BS or MS in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics Work in Predictive models Use of machine learning or AI to automate process for Business Analytics and other business or functional groups Ways to make use of streaming data (wearables), where the amount of data is enormous, taking a record every second. Customize the data to produce an output which displays the behavior of the data.  Contribute to data standards creation, management, and governance. Systems development - macros and utility programs, evaluation and introduction of new technologies including visualization Resourcing and Project Management Current Initiatives WUSS 2018

R O C K E T S How to Stay Relevant - Real-World Evidence to enrich the understanding of data - Open mind to open source (R, Python, etc.) and new technologies (Tableau, Spotfire, ggplot2, shiny, etc.). - Communication. The ability to share findings in ways the organization can understand and act on. - Knowledge; take courses, go to workshops, or study statistics on your own - Engage in the full lifecycle of the study - Therapeutic area expertise cannot be replaced - Structured and Unstructured Data; propose solutions to handle difficult and new types of data WUSS 2018

CONCLUSION Data Scientist roles are quite broad and job role is applied differently across industries. Data Science business initiatives are focused on Development of Predictive Models Use of Machine Learning or AI to Automate Process The Challenges Ahead to Make Use of Streaming Data and Turning That into an Endpoint Statistical Programmers specialized work and industry specific knowledge cannot be replaced. Rockets to Relevance -embrace todays challenges in data analysis and continue to build your domain and industry expertise. WUSS 2018
