A Bayesian decision-theoretic model of sequential experimentation with delayed response
We propose a Bayesian decision-theoretic model of a fully sequential experiment in which the real-valued primary end point is observed with delay. The goal is to identify the sequential experiment which maximises the expected benefits of technology adoption decisions, minus sampling costs. The solution yields a unified policy defining the optimal ‘do not experiment’/‘fixed sample size experimen...
متن کاملA Bayesian Randomized Clinical Trial: A Decision Theoretic Sequential Design
We propose a Bayesian decision theoretic framework for randomization in clinical trials. The proposed approach reconciles the apparent contradiction between the practice of clinical trial design and implications of a traditional decision theoretic setup. Although it is universal practice to use randomization in clinical trial design, a standard decision theoretic setup does not justify randomiz...
متن کاملBayesian Decision Theoretic Design for Group Sequential Medical Trials having Multivariate Patient Response
In the conduct of sequential clinical trials primary statistical issues include design, monitoring and reporting. Here we focus on design issues. Group sequential designs have been developed to link patient accrual to when interim analysis should occur. In practice, trials with multiple arms and multivariate patient response are important. We present an approach for implementing and assessing o...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian analysis under sequential experimentation ∗
Objective priors for sequential experiments are considered. Common priors, such as the Jeffreys prior and the reference prior, will typically depend on the stopping rule used for the sequential experiment. New expressions for reference priors are obtained in various contexts, and computational issues involving such priors are considered.
متن کاملA Bayesian – Decision Theoretic Approach to Model Error Modeling
This paper takes a Bayesian-decision theoretic approach to transfer function estimation, nominal model estimation, and quantification of the resulting model error. Consistency of the nonparametric estimate of the transfer function is proved together with a rate of convergence. The required quantities can be computed routinely using reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The proposed ...
