Evaluation of statistical association measures for the automatic signal generation in pharmacovigilance.

Evaluation of statistical association measures for the automatic signal generation in pharmacovigilance.

Pharmacovigilance aims at detecting the adverse effects of marketed drugs. It is generally based on the spontaneous reporting of events thought to be the adverse effects of drugs. Spontaneous Reporting Systems (SRSs) supply huge databases that pharmacovigilance experts cannot exhaustively exploit wi...
