Adaptive Biased-coin Designs for Clinical Trials with Several Treatments
Adaptive designs are used in phase III clinical trials for skewing the allocation pattern towards the better treatments. We use optimum design theory to provide a skewed biased-coin procedure for sequential designs with continuous responses. The skewed designs are used to provide adaptive designs, the performance of which is studied numerically for designs with three treatments. Important prope...
متن کاملCan the Gold Coin Futures Prices Forecast the Gold Coin Spot Prices at the Maturity Date?
This paper examines whether the gold coin futures prices in the Iran Mercantile Exchange can forecast accurately the gold coin spot prices at the maturity date. For this, it uses daily data of both futures and spot prices from Azar 1387 to Tir 1397. A cointegration analysis shows that in horizons shorter than 100 days, there is a significant one-to-one relation between these two prices which im...
متن کاملCoin tosses
We’ll use a statistical model of the problem to motivate a prediction strategy, as well as to evaluate the quality of various strategies. In this model, the outcome of the coin toss is random; it is “heads” with some probability, say, p; and it is “tails” with the remaining probability 1 − p. We’ll encode “heads” by 1, and “tails” by 0, so the outcome is a random variable Y . The number p is a ...

In this model, the outcome of the coin toss is random; it is “heads” with some probability, say, p; and it is “tails” with the remaining probability 1− p. This number p is a parameter of the model; the possible values it can taken on, namely the interval [0, ...
متن کاملAssessing toxicity in cancer chemoprevention trials: the other side of the coin.
Clinical cancer chemoprevention started by studying natural agents presumed to be virtually free of toxicity. Beginning with these agents, however, the history of the major cancer chemoprevention trials has shown that evaluating adverse effects is every bit as important as evaluating preventive efficacy. Clinical trials have taught us invaluable lessons about the nature of serious toxicity in c...
