随机临床试验处理效应估计中的线性模型协变量调整：指导模拟的理论AI 解读

Building on key papers that were published in special issues of Biometrics in 1957 and 1982 we propose and develop a three-aspect system for evaluating the effect of fitting covariates in the analysis of designed experiments, in particular randomised clinical trials. The three aspects are: first the effect on residual mean square error, second the effect on the variance inflation factor (VIF) and third the effect on second order precision. We concentrate, in particular, on…

非比例风险下生存分析统计方法的中立比较AI 解读

While well-established methods for time-to-event data are available when the proportional hazards assumption holds, there is no consensus on the best inferential approach under non-proportional hazards (NPH). However, a wide range of parametric and non-parametric methods for testing and estimation in this scenario have been proposed. To provide recommendations on the statistical analysis of clinical trials where non proportional hazards are expected, we conducted a…

比较两个生存函数多项特征的同时推断程序AI 解读

Survival time is the primary endpoint of many randomized controlled trials, and a treatment effect is typically quantified by the hazard ratio under the assumption of proportional hazards. Awareness is increasing that in many settings this assumption is a-priori violated, e.g. due to delayed onset of drug effect. In these cases, interpretation of the hazard ratio estimate is ambiguous and statistical inference for alternative parameters to quantify a treatment effect is…
