Statistical Methods for Establishing Personalized Treatment Rules in Oncology
The process for using statistical inference to establish personalized treatment strategies requires specific techniques for data-analysis that optimize the combination of competing therapies with candidate genetic features and characteristics of the patient and disease. A wide variety of methods have been developed. However, heretofore the usefulness of these recent advances has not been fully ...
متن کاملAsymptotics for Statistical Treatment Rules
One major goal of treatment evaluation in the social and medical sciences is to provide guidance on how to assign individuals to treatments. For example, a number of studies have examined the problem of “profiling” individuals to identify those likely to benefit from a social program.1 Manski (2000, 2002, 2004) and Dehejia (2005) suggest placing the problem within a decisiontheoretic framework,...
متن کاملStatistical methods and designs in clinical oncology
The RECIST criteria are used as standard guidelines for the clinical evaluation of cancer treatments. The assessment is based on the anatomical tumor burden: change in size of target lesions and evolution of non-target lesions, ie. appearance of new lesions and progression of non-target lesions. Despite indisputable advantages of this standard tool, RECIST are subject to some limitations such a...
متن کاملEfficient Search Methods for Statistical Dependency Rules
Dependency analysis is one of the central problems in bioinformatics and all empirical science. In genetics, for example, an important problem is to find which gene alleles are mutually dependent or which alleles and diseases are dependent. In ecology, a similar problem is to find dependencies between different species or groups of species. In both cases a classical solution is to consider all ...
متن کاملStatistical methods for establishing equivalency of several sampling devices.
The problem of comparing several alternate sampling devices to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard, or the comparison of several sampling devices among themselves, is considered. A test based on the OSHA criterion that states that "90% of the readings of the sampling device should be within +/- 25% of the readings obtained by the standard" is developed. Type I erro...
