摘要:
Optimum designs are described for two treatments with different variances when covariates are included in the model. The designs, a generalization of Neyman allocation, are required in personalized medicine to model the effect of covariates on the choice of treatment. The use of the designs in clinical trials is indicated. D-optimality of the designs is established using results from Kiefer's general equivalence theorem. The results are obtained with the use of surprisingly elementary algebra.
