A Bayesian non-inferiority index for two Poisson parameters
The efficiency and safety of a new treatment is occasionally evaluated using Poisson distributed count data as the criteria in clinical studies. In such scenarios, non-inferiority tests using Poisson distributed count data are often employed and evaluated in frequentist frameworks. However, in our previous work, we proposed and presented an index that demonstrated that the Poisson parameter obt...
متن کاملPower calculation for non-inferiority trials comparing two Poisson distributions
Rare events are often described by a Poisson distribution. In clinical research the examination of such rare events could be the basis of a non-inferiority trial. In order to plan such a trial the power of a statistical test comparing two Poisson distributions is required. The purpose of this paper is to present a method for calculating size and power of three statistical tests. The method can ...
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 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 کاملComparison of Three Calculation Methods for a Bayesian Inference of Two Poisson Parameters
The statistical inference drawn from the difference between two independent Poisson parameters is often discussed in medical literature. Kawasaki and Miyaoka (2012) proposed an index θ = P(λ1,post < λ2,post), where λ1,post and λ2,post denote Poisson parameters following posterior density. A new calculation method is proposed using MCMC and an approximate expression and exact expression for θ ar...
