Efficient crossover designs in the presence of interactions between direct and carry-over treatment effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crossover designs, or repeated measurements designs, are used for experiments in which t treatments are applied to each of n experimental units successively over p time periods. Such experiments are widely used in areas such as clinical trials, experimental psychology and agricultural field trials. In addition to the direct effect on the response of the treatment in the period of application, there is also the possible presence of a residual, or carry-over, effect of a treatment from one or more previous periods. We use a model in which the residual effect from a treatment depends upon the treatment applied in the succeeding period; that is, a model which includes interactions between the treatment direct and residual effects. We assume that residual effects do not persist further than one succeeding period. A particular class of strongly balanced repeated measurements designs with n=t units and which are uniform on the periods is examined. A lower bound for the A-efficiency of the designs for estimating the direct effects is derived and it is shown that such designs are highly efficient for any number of periods p=2,y,2t. & 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Optimal cross-over designs for full interaction models
We consider repeated measurement designs when a residual or carry-over effect may be present in at most one later period. To avoid too rough a model, we assume that there are interactions between carry-over and direct treatment effects. When the aim of the experiment is to study the effects of a treatment used alone, we obtain universally optimal approximate designs. We also propose some effici...

APPLICATION OF LINEAR MIXED-EFFECTS MODELS TO CROSSOVER DESIGNS LeiZhou November 29,2012 Crossover design is a type of longitudinal study with each subject receiving different treatments in different time periods. It has been used frequently in the pharmaceutical industry and other medical fields to investigate the safety and efficacy of new drugs or new treatments. For crossover studies, the t...

In this article, a new approach for the efficient design of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) circuits is introduced. The main advantages of the proposed idea are the reduced number of QCA cells as well as increased speed, reduced power dissipation and improved cell area. In many cases, one needs to double the effect of a particular inter median signal. State-of-the-art designs utilize a kind...
متن کاملOn optimal cross-over designs when carry-over effects are proportional to direct effects
There are a number of different models for cross-over designs which take account of carry-over effects. Since it seems plausible that a treatment with a large direct effect should generally have a larger carry-over effect, Kempton, Ferris and David (2001) considered a model where the carry-over effects are proportional to the direct effects. The advantage of this model lies in the fact that the...

Background Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a syndrome associated with persistent impairments in communication skills, social interactions, and so forth. Given the approval of risperidone and naltrexone by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ASD cases and extant controversy concerning their pertained side effects, this double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial...
