摘要:Most model selection procedures use a fixed penalty penalizing an increase in the size of a model. These nonadaptive selection procedures perform well only in one type of situation. For instance, Bayesian information criterion (BIC) with a large penalty per-forms well for small models and poorly for large models, and Akaike's information criterion (AIC) does just the opposite. This article proposes an adaptive model selection procedure that uses a data-adaptive complexity penalty based on a co...

摘要:In the presence of covariate measurement error, estimating a regression function nonparametrically is extremely difficult, the problem being related to deconvolution. Various frequentist approaches exist for this problem, but to date there has been no Bayesian treatment. In this article we describe Bayesian approaches to modeling a flexible regression function when the predictor variable is measured with error. The regression function is modeled with smoothing splines and regression P-splines....

摘要:We present a method that extends the flexibility of adaptive designs to the number of interim analyses and to the choice of decision boundaries. At each stage of the trial, the design of the next stage can be determined using all of the information gathered so far. Additionally, one can specify the next stage as the final stage or can plan a further interim analysis. The method is based on a recursive application of the two-stage combination tests for p values. The crucial point is the appropr...

摘要:Measurements of agreement are needed to assess the acceptability of a new or generic process, methodology, and formulation in areas of laboratory performance, instrument or assay validation, method comparisons, statistical process control, goodness of fit, and individual bioequivalence, In all of these areas, one needs measurements that capture a large proportion of data that are within a meaningful boundary from target values. Target values can be considered random (measured with error) or fi...

摘要:A retrospective substudy of the nutritional prevention of cancer (NPC) trials investigated the utility of longitudinally measured prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a biomarker for subsequent onset of prostate cancer (PCa). Serial PSA levels were determined retrospectively from frozen blood samples that had been collected from all patients at successive clinic visits with the timing and the number of these visits highly variable. Diagnosis dates of all incident cases of PCa were recorded. Hete...
