Adaptive Randomization Using PROC MCMC
Based on work by Thall et al. (2012), we implemented a Bayesian method for randomizing patients in a Phase II trial. According to this method, each patient is rated for efficacy and toxicity levels at a specified time point after being randomized to a dose. Evidence is accumulated that identifies which dose(s) of a cancer treatment provide the most desirable profile, per a utility score matrix ...
متن کاملBivariate linear mixed models using SAS proc MIXED
Bivariate linear mixed models are useful when analyzing longitudinal data of two associated markers. In this paper, we present a bivariate linear mixed model including random effects or first-order auto-regressive process and independent measurement error for both markers. Codes and tricks to fit these models using SAS Proc MIXED are provided. Limitations of this program are discussed and an ex...
متن کاملIRT-FIT: SAS® Macros for Fitting Item Response Theory (IRT) Models
Psychometrics has recently seen the development of complex measurement models to better represent test and item data. Item Response Theory (IRT), in particular, comprises a set of non-linear latent variable models that appear to have several conceptual and empirical properties that make them more valuable in practice than classical test theory methods. However, IRT-based models typically requir...
متن کاملRandomized Item Response Theory Models
The randomized response (RR) technique is often used to obtain answers on sensitive questions. A new method is developed to measure latent variables using the RR technique because direct questioning leads to biased results. Within the RR technique is the probability of the true response modeled by an item response theory (IRT) model. The RR technique links the observed item response with the tr...
متن کامل181-2007: Using SAS® PROC NLMIXED for Robust Regression
We show how the NLMIXED procedure can be used to fit linear models (simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, analysis of variance and analysis of covariance) when data are not normally distributed or contaminated with potential outliers. This is accomplished using PROC NLMIXED’s capability of fitting user defined distributions through the general log likelihood option in the Model ...
