Statistics in Medicine, 31(29), 4143–4144.

By: R. Tamura*, X. Huang * & D. Boos n

TL;DR: The similarity between the sequential parallel design and the three-phase design published earlier and the score statistics proposed by Huang and Tamura and Ivanova et al had type I error probabilities close to the nominal rate even for sample sizes as low as nD 50, suggesting that exact tests may not be necessary in many settings.

Estimation of treatment effect for the sequential parallel design

STATISTICS IN MEDICINE, 30(30), 3496–3506.

By: R. Tamura*, X. Huang * & D. Boos n

author keywords: linear combination estimate; constrained maximum likelihood; mean square error; bias; coverage

TL;DR: Simulations and a real data example suggest that there can be substantial gains in precision by incorporating data from both phases of the sequential parallel clinical trial, and the potential gains appear to be greatest in moderate-sized trials, which would typically be the case in phase II trials.

author keywords: Bagging; False selection rate; Model selection; Response optimization; Variable selection

P-Value Precision and Reproducibility

AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 65(4), 213–221.

By: D. Boos n & L. Stefanski n

author keywords: Log p-value; Measure of evidence; Prediction interval; Reproducibility probability
TL;DR: It is shown that p-values exhibit surprisingly large variability in typical data situations, and the use of *, **, and *** to denote levels 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 of statistical significance in subject-matter journals is about the right level of precision for reporting p- values when judged by widely accepted rules for rounding statistical estimates.

MeSH headings : Biometry / methods; Clinical Trials as Topic; Computer Simulation; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Effect Modifier, Epidemiologic; Models, Statistical; Proportional Hazards Models; Regression Analysis
TL;DR: A new version of the false selection rate variable selection method that requires no simulation is developed that allows the tuning parameter in forward selection to be estimated simply by hand calculation from a summary table of output even for situations where the number of explanatory variables is larger than the sample size.
