Sequential Comparison of Changes with Repeated Measurements Data
重复测量数据中变化速率的序贯比较
There are many clinical trials in which the patients enter sequentially, and a response variable is measured repeatedly over time for each patient. A group sequential procedure is proposed for comparing the rates of change between two treatment groups. Some existing procedures for testing the equality of means between two treatment groups with repeated measurements data, such as those proposed by Armitage, Stratton, and Worthington and by Geary, can be interpreted as special…
