Sample Size Selection For Pair-Wise Comparisons Using Information Criteria, Xuemei Pan, C. Mitchell Dayton Nov 2005

Sample Size Selection For Pair-Wise Comparisons Using Information Criteria, Xuemei Pan, C. Mitchell Dayton

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

This article provides results for rates of correct identifications of paired-comparison information criteria and Tukey HSD as functions of the pattern of mean differences and of sample size. Therefore, the tables provided are useful for selecting sample sizes in real world applications.


On The Power Function Of Bayesian Tests With Application To Design Of Clinical Trials: The Fixed-Sample Case, Lyle Broemeling, Dongfeng Wu May 2005

On The Power Function Of Bayesian Tests With Application To Design Of Clinical Trials: The Fixed-Sample Case, Lyle Broemeling, Dongfeng Wu

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Using a Bayesian approach to clinical trial design is becoming more common. For example, at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Bayesian techniques are routinely employed in the design and analysis of Phase I and II trials. It is important that the operating characteristics of these procedures be determined as part of the process when establishing a stopping rule for a clinical trial. This study determines the power function for some common fixed-sample procedures in hypothesis testing, namely the one and two-sample tests involving the binomial and normal distributions. Also considered is a Bayesian test for multi-response (response and toxicity) in …
