Discussion of “ Multivariate Bayesian Logistic Regression for Analysis of Clinical Trial Safety Issues ” by W . DuMouchel
We would like to comment on this article by William DuMouchel, as it gives an interesting application of logistic regression to clinical safety data. Not to underscore the scope of the multivariate Bayesian logistic regression (MBLR) model, but the use of numerical integration is arguably its most important feature. Avoiding Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling techniques for other data-min...
متن کاملMultivariate Bayesian Logistic Regression for Analysis of Clinical Study Safety Issues
This paper describes a method for a model-based analysis of clinical safety data called multivariate Bayesian logistic regression (MBLR). Parallel logistic regression models are fit to a set of medically related issues, or response variables, and MBLR allows information from the different issues to “borrow strength” from each other. The method is especially suited to sparse response data, as of...
متن کاملBayesian multivariate logistic regression.
Bayesian analyses of multivariate binary or categorical outcomes typically rely on probit or mixed effects logistic regression models that do not have a marginal logistic structure for the individual outcomes. In addition, difficulties arise when simple noninformative priors are chosen for the covariance parameters. Motivated by these problems, we propose a new type of multivariate logistic dis...
