About the author of softRX freeware...

Robert L. (Bob) Obenchain, Ph.D.

Senior Research Advisor
US Medical, Commercial Information Sciences, Eli Lilly and Company
Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, USA.
(317) 276-3150

Clients: US Medical Outcomes Research


Professional Interests:

I was elected a fellow of the American Statistical Association in 1997.  I am Web Master for the local chapter of ASA:  Central Indiana Homepage ...and chair for Outreach activities.

I organized the Cost-Effectiveness Inference Working Group (CEIWG) cosponsored by the Biopharmaceutical Section of ASA, by the Health Outcomes Workgroup (HOW) of PhRMA and by I*S*P*O*R. The current focus of CEIWG is on comparing methods for quantifying uncertainty in Incremental Cost-Effectiveness (ICE) statistics; free "ICEplane" windows software.

I continue to work with colleagues in Lilly's Outcomes Research group on long-term projects, such as methods of adjustment for treatment-selection-bias in non-randomized studies (especially supervised and unsupervised propensity scoring), methods for single and multiple imputation of cost data missing from longitudinal studies and TIME=$ survival analyses.


Hobbies:

Bob, Tiffany and Lynne ...at Cannon Mountain, NH, in 1986.

Tiffany is now 25 and preparing to earn an MBA.

  • Wine Appreciation

    Our wine cellar is growing again!!! ...now that I have a VinoTemp unit.  All of our Bordeaux from the 1960s and 1970s is now long gone, but I still have lots of (rather poor) 1981s that I bought because that was Tiffany's vintage.  Recently, I collected 1997s from California, Washington State and Australia.

  • Personal Computer Software Authorship

    I understand that some people actually get PAID to do this. But it's just a hobby for me; guess I'm a true hacker.  I'm also the author of more than 20 archives of MS-DOS software for Statistical Process Control which I uploaded to CompuServe PCAPP, Library 13, Engr/Tech/Sci between 1988 and 1997.

  • Shootin "Golf"s

    I have finally given up trying to play this frustratingly "evil" game. The emotional growth necessary to reach this decision came painfully ...when both sets of clubs I had inherited from my dad were stolen from our garage.
