Training overview
The training course “Statistical tools for pharmaceutical quality control” wish to provide useful tools for understanding and making the best use of statistical tools in the field of pharmaceutical quality control and R&D. The language of the course makes it suitable even for those who do not have strong university statistical backgrounds (such as chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, and biologists) and is structured in three parts.
The first introduces the main basic concepts of statistical methods accompanied by practical computational and application examples.
The second part is devoted to comparing multiple sets of measurements – the need that most often arises in quality control, method validation, quality assurance, research and development, etc. Again, the topic is addressed in both its theoretical and practical-application aspects.
The last part, finally, focuses on linear regression and correlation. Regression analysis is certainly the most widely used approach to make predictions or explain (or just summarize) the relationship between the response and its predictors. Its use is indispensable both in the laboratory and in all other areas of chemical-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical quality.

INTRODUCTION
- Descriptive Statistics vs. Inferential Statistics
STATISTICAL METHODOLOGIES
- Notions of Probability and probability function
- Main discrete (Binomial and Poisson) and continuous (Normal or Gaussian and Student’s t-distribution) probability functions with practical application examples
- The Normal distribution
- Concept of confidence interval and how it is calculated
- Hints at Prediction and Tolerance intervals
- Outliers: statistical tests to detect their presence (e.g., Grubbs, Dixon) and possible operational approaches (e.g., Winsorization, Trimming)
- Normality tests (Anderson-Darling, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk) and data transformation techniques
COMPARISON OF MULTIPLE SETS OF MEASUREMENTS
- Null and alternative assumptions: errors of species I and II
- Significance of difference between means: Student’s t-test (one-sided and two-sided test; dependent or independent samples); ANOVA test (fully randomized model: one-way, two-way)
- Significance of difference between variances: F-test, Bartlett’s test, Cochran’s test
- The alternative to significance tests: equivalence tests
- Components of variance for precision estimates
LINEAR REGRESSION
- Method of least squares
- Linearity tests (lack-of-fit, Mandel’s test)
- Analysis of residuals and influence of data (Bias and Leverage)
- Interpretation of ANOVA test on linear model
- t-test for intercept and slope
- Linear regression and comparison of calibration models (traditional tests vs. Akaike Information Criterion (AICc), TOST for bias)
Personnel involved in the pharmaceutical sector:
- Analytical Development
- Quality check
- Conformity and Quality Assurance
- Research and development
- Production
- Regulatory Affairs
The course will be carried out through live lectures. Practical examples will be showcased, providing delegates with real life examples to be applied in their daily job life.

Speakers
Riccardo Bonfichi
Pharmaceutical Consultant QC / QA, data analysis and technical reports
Riccardo has a degree in Chemistry from the University of Milan and a postgraduate specialization diploma in Chemical and Analytical Methodologies from the Milan Polytechnic. He has gained decades of work experience (in Italy and abroad) in the chemical-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical sector where I held various roles in the Quality area including that of QP. In his functions he has often made use of Statistical Methods for the management of events such as: process and QC investigations (e.g. OOS/OOT), validation of analytical methods, management of responses to deficiencies from Regulatory Authorities and Customers, validation/monitoring of production processes and Quality Control, rationalization/optimization of QC processes, data analysis for Annual Product Quality Reviews, etc.
