Bootstrapping in EMB ResQ

The aim of this course is to first introduce a couple of the different approaches to estimating the variability, both analytical (Mack) and stochastic (Bootstrapping). After familiarizing the users with the underlying methodologies, we will look at how these approaches are implemented within EMB ResQ.

We will also outline some of the characteristics, advantages, limitations and considerations that need to be borne in mind when performing a meaningful analysis of the variability and consider some of the various output options available for interpretation and communication of the results.

Overview

The Broad topics covered include:

• Introduction to Mack’s Methodology
• Introduction to Bootstrapping
• Bootstrapping Mack
• Bootstrapping Mack vs. ODP
• Bootstrapping in EMB ResQ
• Practical considerations
• Scaling/Inflating/Discounting
• Viewing the results
• Bootstrap consolidation
• Outputting and using the results

Automation in EMB ResQ

This workshop aims to introduce some of the concepts and techniques involved in using the COM Interface to interact with EMB ResQ, including data entry, database manipulation, method population, and report production. After covering some fundamental aspects of VBA usage, users will gain hands-on experience interacting with EMB ResQ through worked examples.

Overview

The Broad topics covered include:

• Brief introduction to VBA
• Useful language
• EMB ResQ and the COM interface
• Writing and enhancing code to interact with EMB ResQ
