Nonparametric procedures for simultaneous identification of the minimum effective dose in each of several groups.

چکیده
This paper considers the extension of the dose finding problem in a one-way layout setting to the case of several groups, in which the main goal is to identify the minimum effective dose (MED) of each group simultaneously. We propose two nonparametric procedures using the respective pairwise- and Helmert-type two-sample Mann-Whitney statistics, which are applied in a step-down testing scheme for identifying the MED simultaneously. The computation for the associated p-value of the identified MED vector is discussed. One numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed procedures.

Nonparametric identification of the minimum effective dose.
We consider identifying the minimum effective dose (MED) in a dose-response study, where the MED is defined to be the lowest dose level producing an effect over that of the zero-dose control. Proposed herein is a nonparametric procedure based on the Mann-Whitney statistic incorporated with the step-down closed testing scheme. A numerical example demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed nonp...
متن کاملتخمین میزان پرتوگیری بیماران از تصویربرداری رادیوگرافی در بیمارستان های ارجاعی دولتی شهر ساری
Background and purpose: Estimation of the risks of radiation would be possible by identifying the dose received. Introducing the dose level from diagnostic procedures can be effective in reducing the patient dose, improving the quality of treatment, and increasing the safety of patients and staff. This study evaluated patient entrance surface dose (ESD), effective dose, and cumulative dose from...
متن کاملStaff and patient absorbed doses due to diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures
Background: Annual patient effective dose equivalent can be considered as a quantitative physical parameter describing the activities performed in each nuclear medicine department. Annual staff dose equivalent could be also considered as a parameter describing the amount of radiation risk for performing the activities. We calculated the staff to patient dose equivalent ratio to be used as a phy...
متن کاملConfidence Sets-based Procedures for Identifying the Minimum Effective Dose with Right-censored Lifetime Data
In this paper, we consider identifying the minimum effective dose (MED) in a doseresponse study with randomly right-censored lifetime data, where the MED is the lowest dose level with a median lifetime larger than that of the zero-dose control by a certain threshold value. The MED is identified based on the stepwise confidence sets for the ratios of median lifetimes of each non-zero dose group ...
متن کاملThe study of simultaneous resistance to heavy metals and antibiotics in resistant bacteria to silver and cadmium isolated from the wastewater
This laboratory study simultaneously was conducted to evaluate the resistance to heavy metals, silver, cadmium and a number of commonly used antibiotics. Sampling was done in 2014 of the two silver workshops in Isfahan, and the inlet of phase 2 of Shahin Shahr wastewater treatment plant, Isfahan. To isolate resistant bacteria to metal silver and cadmium and review multiple resistance to other m...
