Optimal and efficient crossover designs for comparing test treatments to a control treatment under various models

چکیده
We study the optimality, efficiency, and robustness of crossover designs for comparing several test treatments to a control treatment. Since A-optimality is a natural criterion in this context, we establish lower bounds for the trace of the inverse of the information matrix for the test treatments versus control comparisons under various models. These bounds are then used to obtain lower bounds for efficiencies of a design under these models. Two algorithms, both guided by these efficiencies and results from optimal design theory, are proposed for obtaining efficient designs under the various models.

متن کاملCrossover Designs for Two-treatment Clinical Trials
Crossover designs in clinical trials are very popular for comparing several non-curative treatments for their eecacy, while having each patient as his/her own control. Many investigators have constructed universally optimal designs for certain repeated measurement experiments. However, most of these statistically optimal designs have certain undesirable features from a clinical perspective. In ...
متن کاملOptimal and Efficient Crossover Designs When Subject Effects Are Random
Most studies on optimal crossover designs are based on models that assume subject effects to be fixed effects. In this article we identify and study optimal and efficient designs for a model with random subject effects. With the number of periods not exceeding the number of treatments, we find that totally balanced designs are universally optimal for treatment effects in a large subclass of com...
