Group sequential designs applied in psychological research

Increasing efficiency of preclinical research by group sequential designs

Despite the potential benefits of sequential designs, studies evaluating treatments or experimental manipulations in preclinical experimental biomedicine almost exclusively use classical block designs. Our aim with this article is to bring the existing methodology of group sequential designs to the attention of researchers in the preclinical field and to clearly illustrate its potential utility...

Issues in Group Sequential/Adaptive Designs

In recent years, there has been great interest in the use of adaptive features in clinical trials (i.e., changes in design or analyses guided by examination of the accumulated data at an interim point in the trial) that may make the studies more efficient (e.g., shorter duration, fewer patients). Many statistical methods have been developed to maintain the validity of study results when adaptiv...

Planned missing data designs in psychological research.

The authors describe 2 efficiency (planned missing data) designs for measurement: the 3-form design and the 2-method measurement design. The 3-form design, a kind of matrix sampling, allows researchers to leverage limited resources to collect data for 33% more survey questions than can be answered by any 1 respondent. Power tables for estimating correlation effects illustrate the benefit of thi...
