Group Sequential Tests for Delayed Responses
Group sequential methods are used routinely to monitor clinical trials and to provide early stopping when there is evidence of a treatment effect, lack of an effect, or concerns about patient safety. In many studies, the response of clinical interest is measured some time after the start of treatment and there are subjects at each interim analysis who have been treated but are yet to respond. W...
متن کاملPredictors of Long-Term Survival after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest is one of the most important issues related to the safety and quality of patient care, and unexpected events such as failure to follow guidelines can endanger the patient's safety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its predictors in patients with cardiac arrest. Materi...
متن کاملOn distance-based permutation tests for between-group comparisons.
Permutation tests based on distances among multivariate observations have found many applications in the biological sciences. Two major testing frameworks of this kind are multiresponse permutation procedures and pseudo-F tests arising from a distance-based extension of multivariate analysis of variance. In this article, we derive conditions under which these two frameworks are equivalent. The ...
متن کاملAdaptive and non-adaptive group sequential tests
Methods have been proposed to re-design a clinical trial at an interim stage in order to increase power. In order to preserve the type I error rate, methods for unplanned design-change have to be defined in terms of non-sufficient statistics and this calls into question their efficiency and the credibility of conclusions reached. We evaluate schemes for adaptive re-design, extending the theoret...
متن کاملOptimal Asymmetric One-Sided Group Sequential Tests
We extend the optimal symmetric group sequential tests of Eales & Jennison (1992) to the broader class of asymmetric designs. Two forms of asymmetry are considered, involving unequal type I and type II error rates and different emphases on expected sample sizes at the null and alternative hypotheses. We discuss the properties of our optimal designs and use them to assess the efficiency of the f...
