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 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 کاملSample Size Determination in Clinical Trials
A decision theoretic framework for sample size determination for a clinical trial is presented in which the nal decision whether to use the new treatment is taken by potential users and their medical advisers on the basis of the strength of the evidence provided by the trial. This is more realistic than the usual decision theoretic assumption that both the sample size and terminal decisions are...
متن کاملA Behavioural Bayesian Method for Sample Size Determination in Clinical Trials
1 SUMMARY When a new clinical treatment is being considered trials are carried out to estimate the increase in performance which i s l i k ely to result if the new treatment were to replace the treatment in current use. An important feature of the analysis in this paper is that the nal decision whether to use the new treatment is taken by potential users and their advisers on the basis of the s...
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...
