Group Sequential Analysis Incorporating Covariate Information
In this paper we survey existing results concerning the joint distribution of the sequence of estimates of the parameter vector when a model is tted to accumulating data and we provide a uniied theory which explains the \independent increments" structure commonly seen in group sequential test statistics. Our theory covers normal linear models, including the case of correlated observations, and ...
متن کاملIncorporating topic information into semantic analysis models
This paper reports experiments in classifying texts based upon their favorability towards the subject of the text using a feature set enriched with topic information on a small dataset of music reviews hand-annotated for topic. The results of these experiments suggest ways in which incorporating topic information into such models may yield improvement over models which do not use topic informat...
متن کاملMethods for incorporating covariate adjustment, subgroup analysis and between-centre differences into cost-effectiveness evaluations.
BACKGROUND Overall assessments of cost-effectiveness are now commonplace in informing medical policy decision making. It is often important, however, also to investigate how cost-effectiveness varies between patient subgroups. Yet such analyses are rarely undertaken, because appropriate methods have not been sufficiently developed. METHODS We propose a coherent set of Bayesian methods to exte...
متن کاملIncorporating Non-sequential interactions into Click Models
Click-through information is considered as a valuable source of users’ implicit relevance feedback. As user behavior is usually influenced by a number of factors such as position, presentation style and site reputation, researchers have proposed a variety of assumptions (i.e. click models) to generate a reasonable estimation of result relevance. The construction of click models usually follow s...
متن کاملExercise for lower limb osteoarthritis: systematic review incorporating trial sequential analysis and network meta-analysis
OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that exercise interventions are more effective than no exercise control and to compare the effectiveness of different exercise interventions in relieving pain and improving function in patients with lower limb osteoarthritis. DATA SOURCES Nine electronic databases searched from inception to March 2012. STUDY SELECTION R...
