A mixed Bayesian/Frequentist approach in sample size determination problem for clinical trials
In this paper we introduce a stochastic optimization method based ona mixed Bayesian/frequentist approach to a sample size determinationproblem in a clinical trial. The data are assumed to come from a nor-mal distribution for which both the mean and the variance are unknown.In contrast to the usual Bayesian decision theoretic methodology, whichassumes a single decision maker, our method recogni...
متن کاملSample size determination for logistic regression
The problem of sample size estimation is important in medical applications, especially in cases of expensive measurements of immune biomarkers. This paper describes the problem of logistic regression analysis with the sample size determination algorithms, namely the methods of univariate statistics, logistics regression, cross-validation and Bayesian inference. The authors, treating the regr...
متن کاملAvoiding the Range of Equivalence in Clinical Trials: Bayesian Sample Size Determination for Robust Credible Intervals
This article considers sample size determination methods based on Bayesian credible intervals for θ, an unknown real-valued parameter of interest. We assume that credible intervals are used to establish whether θ belongs to an indifference region. This problem is typical in clinical trials, where θ represents the effect-difference of two alternative treatments and experiments are judged conclus...
متن کاملSample Size Determination in Clinical Trials
A decision theoretic framework for sample size determination for a clinical trial is presented in which the nal decision whether to use the new treatment is taken by potential users and their medical advisers on the basis of the strength of the evidence provided by the trial. This is more realistic than the usual decision theoretic assumption that both the sample size and terminal decisions are...
متن کاملTests for equivalence based on odds ratio for matched-pair design.
Currently, methods for evaluation of equivalence under a matched-pair design use either difference in proportions or relative risk as measures of risk association. However, these measures of association are only for cross-sectional studies or prospective investigations, such as clinical trials and they cannot be applied to retrospective research such as case-control studies. As a result, under ...
