利用工具变量处理不可忽略缺失数据的统计方法综述AI 解读

Nonignorable missing data, where the probability of missingness depends on unobserved values, presents a significant challenge in statistical analysis. Traditional methods often rely on strong parametric assumptions that are difficult to verify and may lead to biased estimates if misspecified. Recent advances have introduced the concept of a nonresponse instrument or shadow variable as a powerful tool to enhance model identifiability without requiring full parametric…

BOP2-DC：采用双标准决策的贝叶斯最优二期试验设计AI 解读

The conventional phase II trial design paradigm is to make the go/no-go decision based on the hypothesis testing framework. Statistical significance itself alone, however, may not be sufficient to establish that the drug is clinically effective enough to warrant confirmatory phase III trials. We propose the Bayesian optimal phase II trial design with dual-criterion decision making (BOP2-DC), which incorporates both statistical significance and clinical relevance into…
