Sample size determination for clustered count data.
We consider the problem of sample size determination for count data. Such data arise naturally in the context of multicenter (or cluster) randomized clinical trials, where patients are nested within research centers. We consider cluster-specific and population-averaged estimators (maximum likelihood based on generalized mixed-effect regression and generalized estimating equations, respectively)...
متن کاملTesting rare variants for hypertension using family-based tests with different weighting schemes
Next-generation sequencing technology makes directly testing rare variants possible. However, existing statistical methods to detect common variants may not be optimal for testing rare variants because of allelic heterogeneity as well as the extreme rarity of individual variants. Recently, several statistical methods to detect associations of rare variants were developed, including population-b...
متن کاملBayesian Determination of Sample Size in Longitudinal Studies with Binary Responses Using Random Effects Models
Sample size determination is important in all statistical studies including longitudinal studies. This is usually done by considering a target power to reduce the costs of sampling. Choosing the right sample size using efficient methods, ensures that the researcher achieve goal of the study, by spending the least amount of energy, time and money. In this article, using a method based on simulat...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation of Exact Tests for the Weak Causal Null Hypothesis in Randomized Trials with a Binary Outcome
The main purpose in many randomized trials is to make an inference about the average causal effect of a treatment. Therefore, on a binary outcome, the null hypothesis for the hypothesis test should be that the causal risks are equal in the two groups. This null hypothesis is referred to as the weak causal null hypothesis. Nevertheless, at present, hypothesis tests applied in actual randomized t...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation for Comparing Time-to-event Data
In clinical research, the occurrence of certain events (e.g., adverse events, disease progression, relapse, or death) is often of particular interest to the investigators, especially in the area of cancer trials. In most situations, these events are undesirable and unpreventable. In practice, it would be beneficial to patients if the test treatment could delay the occurrence of such events. As ...
