Traditional Frequentist Inference Uses Unrealistic Priors

Published: June 10, 2024 04:00

Background Consider these four conditions: There is no reliable prior information about an effect and an uninformative prior is used in the Bayesian analysis There is only one look at the data The look was pre-planned and not data-dependent A one-sided…

Borrowing Information Across Outcomes

Published: April 30, 2024 05:00

Background As explained here, the power for a group comparison can be greatly increased over that provided by a binary endpoint, with greater increase when an ordinal endpoint has several well-population categories or has a great many categories, in which…

Proportional Odds Model Power Calculations for Ordinal and Mixed Ordinal/Continuous Outcomes

Published: April 22, 2024 05:00

Background A binary endpoint in a clinical trial is a minimum-information endpoint that yields the lowest power for treatment comparisons. A time-to-event outcome, when only a minority of subjects suffer the event, has little power gain over a pure binary…

The log-rank Test Assumes More Than the Cox Model

Published: March 28, 2024 05:00

Background The log-rank test is a Mantel-Haenszel “observed - expected frequency” type of test that was derived in a slightly ad hoc way by Nathan Mantel in 1966 and named the logrank test by R Peto and J Peto in 1972. It was later derived as the rank test…

What Does a Statistical Method Assume?

Published: March 23, 2024 05:00

A Definition All statistical procedures have assumptions. Even the most simple response variable (Y) where the possible values are 0 and 1, when analyzed using the proportion that Y=1, assumes that Y is truly binary, every observation has the same…
