DESCRIPTION:Robert Platt\, PhD\n\nProfessor\, Departments of Pediatrics and
  of Epidemiology\, Biostatistics\, and Occupational Health\, ɬÀï·¬ Univer
 sity\n\nTargeted Learning in Pharmacoepidemiology\n\nALL ARE WELCOME\n\nAb
 stract:\n\nTargeted learning\, or targeted maximum likelihood estimation (
 TMLE) is a framework for estimation that allows for specification and esti
 mation of policy-relevant target parameters.  I will introduce TMLE\, and 
 discuss why targeted estimation in general\, in which the statistical meth
 od is tailored to the parameter of interest rather than vice versa\, shoul
 d be used.  I will briefly outline TMLE for estimation of marginal paramet
 ers in pharmacoepidemiologic research with large administrative datasets. 
  I will demonstrate TMLE in a study of the use of statins and all-cause mo
 rtality\, and via simulation.\n\nBio:\n\nRobert Platt is Professor in the 
 departments of Pediatrics and of Epidemiology\, Biostatistics\, and Occupa
 tional Health at ɬÀï·¬.  He received a BSc in Mathematics from
  ɬÀï·¬\, an MSc in Statistics from the University of Manitoba\, and MS an
 d PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Washington\, and joined McGi
 ll in 1996.  Dr. Platt was director of the Biostatistics program from 2006
 -2012\, and is currently the Director of Graduate Programs in the Departme
 nt of Epidemiology\, Biostatistics\, and Occupational Health.  He holds a 
 CIHR Foundation Scheme grant\, and is co-PI and leader of the methods team
  for the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies.  His rese
 arch interests centre on causal inference in epidemiologic studies\, with 
 emphasis on pharmacoepidemiology and pediatric and perinatal epidemiology.
