A mixed Bayesian/Frequentist approach in sample size determination problem for clinical trials
In this paper we introduce a stochastic optimization method based ona mixed Bayesian/frequentist approach to a sample size determinationproblem in a clinical trial. The data are assumed to come from a nor-mal distribution for which both the mean and the variance are unknown.In contrast to the usual Bayesian decision theoretic methodology, whichassumes a single decision maker, our method recogni...
متن کاملBayesian Sample Size Determination for Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Measurements and Survival Data
A longitudinal study refers to collection of a response variable and possibly some explanatory variables at multiple follow-up times. In many clinical studies with longitudinal measurements, the response variable, for each patient is collected as long as an event of interest, which considered as clinical end point, occurs. Joint modeling of continuous longitudinal measurements and survival time...
متن کاملBayesian Sample size Determination for Longitudinal Studies with Continuous Response using Marginal Models
Introduction Longitudinal study designs are common in a lot of scientific researches, especially in medical, social and economic sciences. The reason is that longitudinal studies allow researchers to measure changes of each individual over time and often have higher statistical power than cross-sectional studies. Choosing an appropriate sample size is a crucial step in a successful study. A st...
متن کاملBayesian sample size Determination Using a Scaled Exponential Utility Function According to Numerical Method
In this paper we propose a utility function and obtain the Bayese stimate and the optimum sample size under this utility function. This utility function is designed especially to obtain the Bayes estimate when the posterior follows a gamma distribution. We consider a Normal with known mean, a Pareto, an Exponential and a Poisson distribution for an optimum sample size under the propose...
متن کاملBayesian sample size estimation for logistic regression
The paper1 is devoted to the logistic regression analysis [1], applied to classification problems in biomedicine. A group of patients is investigated as a sample set; each patient is described with a set of features, named as biomarkers and is classified into two classes. Since the patient measurement is expensive the problem is to reduce number of measured features in order to increase sample ...
