Non-Inferiority Tests for the Difference Between Two Means
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This procedure computes power and sample size for non-inferiority tests in two-sample designs in which the outcome is a continuous normal random variable. Measurements are made on individuals that have been randomly assigned to one of two groups. This is sometimes referred to as a parallel-groups design. This design is used in situations such as the comparison of the income level of two regions, the nitrogen content of two lakes, or the effectiveness of two drugs.

Non-Inferiority Designs in A/B Testing
Most, if not all the current statistical literature on online randomized controlled experiments, (commonly referred to as “A/B Tests”), focuses on superiority designs. That is, the error of the first kind is formulated as incorrectly rejecting a composite null hypothesis of the treatment having no effect or having a negative effect. It is then controlled via a statistical significance threshold...

متن کاملOn Sample Size Determination Based on a Bayesian Index of Non-inferiority for Two Independent Binomial Proportions
In drug development, non-inferiority tests are often employed to determine the difference between two independent binomial proportions. Many test statistics for non-inferiority are based on the frequentist framework. In this paper, we propose a method for the determination of sample sizes using the index ( ) , , 2 1 0 2 1 X X P ∆ − π > π = τ where 1 X and 2 X denote binomial random variables fo...
متن کاملNon-Inferiority Tests for the Difference Between Two Proportions
A non-inferiority test example will set the stage for the discussion of the terminology that follows. Suppose that the current treatment for a disease works 70% of the time. Unfortunately, this treatment is expensive and occasionally exhibits serious side-effects. A promising new treatment has been developed to the point where it can be tested. One of the first questions that must be answered i...
متن کاملInferences for Ratios of Normal Means
Inferences concerning ratios of means of normally distributed random variables or ratios of regression coefficients arise in a variety of problems in biomedical research. For example, in tests for non-inferiority of one or more experimental treatments against a positive control, it is often easier to define and also to interpret the non-inferiority margin as percentage changes (or fraction reta...
