利用贝叶斯非参数共同原子回归构建临床试验合成对照AI 解读

The availability of electronic health records (EHR) has opened opportunities to supplement increasingly expensive and difficult to carry out randomized controlled trials (RCT) with evidence from readily available real world data. In this paper, we use EHR data to construct synthetic control arms for treatment-only single arm trials. We propose a novel nonparametric Bayesian common atoms mixture model that allows us to find equivalent population strata in the EHR and the…

带序贯转移时间的动态治疗方案的贝叶斯非参数估计AI 解读

We analyze a dataset arising from a clinical trial involving multi-stage chemotherapy regimes for acute leukemia. The trial design was a 2 × 2 factorial for frontline therapies only. Motivated by the idea that subsequent salvage treatments affect survival time, we model therapy as a dynamic treatment regime (DTR), that is, an alternating sequence of adaptive treatments or other actions and transition times between disease states. These sequences may vary substantially…

依赖随机测度的 ANOVA 模型AI 解读

We consider dependent nonparametric models for related random probability distributions. For example, the random distributions might be indexed by a categorical covariate indicating the treatment levels in a clinical trial and might represent random effects distributions under the respective treatment combinations. We propose a model that describes dependence across random distributions in an analysis of variance (ANOVA)-type fashion. We define a probability model in such a…

检测非线性个体曲线急剧变化的贝叶斯模型AI 解读

We propose a model for longitudinal data with random effects that includes model-based smoothing of measurements over time. This research is motivated by experiments evaluating the hemodynamic effects of various agents in tumor-bearing rats. In one set of experiments, the rats breathed room air, followed by carbogen (a mixture of pure oxygen and carbon dioxide). The experimental responses are longitudinal measurements of oxygen pressure measured in tissue, tumor blood flow,…

采用层次混合先验的贝叶斯总体模型及其血细胞计数应用AI 解读

Population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies require analyzing nonlinear growth curves fit to multiple measurements from study subjects. We propose a class of nonlinear population models with nonparametric second-stage priors for analyzing such data. The proposed models apply a flexible class of mixtures to implement the nonparametric second stage. The discussion is based on a pharmacodynamic study involving longitudinal data consisting of hematologic profiles…
