Power and sample size calculation for multivariate longitudinal trials using the longitudinal rank sum test
基于纵向秩和检验的多变量纵向试验功效与样本量计算
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's often exhibit complex, multivariate longitudinal outcomes that require advanced statistical methods to comprehensively evaluate treatment efficacy. The Longitudinal Rank Sum Test (LRST) offers a nonparametric framework to assess global treatment effects across multiple longitudinal endpoints without requiring multiplicity corrections. This study develops a robust methodology for power and sample size estimation…
