Nonparametric Bayes Applications to Biostatistics
1. Introduction Biomedical research has clearly evolved at a dramatic rate in the past decade, with improvements in technology leading to a fundamental shift in the way in which data are collected and analyzed. Before this paradigm shift, studies were most commonly designed to be simple and to focus on relationships among a few variables of primary interest. For example, in a clinical trial, pa...
متن کاملRejoinder: Microarrays, Empirical Bayes and the Two-Groups Model
The Fisher–Neyman–Pearson theory of hypothesis testing was a triumph of mathematical elegance and practical utility. It was never designed, though, to handle 10,000 tests at once, and one can see contemporary statisticians struggling to develop theories appropriate to our new scientific environment. This paper is part of that effort: starting from just the two-groups model (2.1), it aims to sho...
متن کاملCommentary: biostatistics, biological mechanisms and Bayes: lessons from the magnesium trials.
The controversy which has surrounded the interpretation of the randomized controlled trials (RCT) of intravenous Mg 2+ in acute myocardial infarction has focused attention on the place of both meta-analysis and the mega-trial in therapeutic research. Stated simply, a fixed-effects meta-analysis of seven small controlled trials indicated a highly significant 55% reduction in odds of death among ...

We thank the editor Professor David Steinberg for organizing this stimulating discussion. We are also grateful to all the discussants for their constructive comments about the method proposed in our paper (denoted as QZW hereafter). Profile monitoring is a relatively new research area; but, it has a profound application background (cf., Wang and Tsung 2005, Woodall et al. 2004). Due to the fact...
