Description
Paddy Farrington is a Professor of Statistics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Computing and Technology at The Open University. He developed self-controlled case series (SCSC) method back in 1995, to... investigate adverse reactions to vaccines. Its key feature is that it uses data only on cases, which makes it easy to use. It also avoids many sources of confounding, as in effect cases are matched with themselves. The method has been used in many vaccine studies (including MMR and autism), and to investigate drug safety more generally.
