Semiparametric estimation of treatment effect in a pretest-posttest study.
Inference on treatment effects in a pretest-posttest study is a routine objective in medicine, public health, and other fields. A number of approaches have been advocated. We take a semiparametric perspective, making no assumptions about the distributions of baseline and posttest responses. By representing the situation in terms of counterfactual random variables, we exploit recent developments...
متن کاملSemiparametric Estimation of Treatment Effect in a Pretest-Posttest Study with Missing Data.
The pretest-posttest study is commonplace in numerous applications. Typically, subjects are randomized to two treatments, and response is measured at baseline, prior to intervention with the randomized treatment (pretest), and at prespecified follow-up time (posttest). Interest focuses on the effect of treatments on the change between mean baseline and follow-up response. Missing posttest respo...

متن کاملBias, precision and statistical power of analysis of covariance in the analysis of randomized trials with baseline imbalance: a simulation study
BACKGROUND Analysis of variance (ANOVA), change-score analysis (CSA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) respond differently to baseline imbalance in randomized controlled trials. However, no empirical studies appear to have quantified the differential bias and precision of estimates derived from these methods of analysis, and their relative statistical power, in relation to combinations of lev...
متن کاملEffect of acceptance and commitment group therapy on benefit finding and adherence to treatment in breast cancer patients and survivors: A randomized clinical trial study
Introduction: The positive experience of life changes and the following treatment play a key role in adapting and improving breast cancer. It seems that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps this issue via facilitating acceptance and clarification of values. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ACT on the benefit and adherence to treatment in breast cancer...
