Goals

openstatsware is a scientific working group of the American Statistical Association (ASA) Biopharmaceutical section (BIOP).

Our goals are to:

• Engineer selected R-packages to fill in gaps in the open-source statistical software landscape, and to promote software tools designed by the working group through publications, conference presentations, workshops, and training courses.

• Develop good SWE practices for engineering high-quality statistical software and promote their use in the broader Biostatistics community via public training materials.

• Communicate and collaborate with other R software initiatives including via the R Consortium.
