Methods and Applications of Statistics in Clinical Trials,
Volume 2: Planning, Analysis, and Inferential Methods includes
updates of established literature from the Wiley Encyclopedia of
Clinical Trials as well as original material based on the latest
developments in clinical trials. Prepared by a leading expert, the
second volume includes numerous contributions from current
prominent experts in the field of medical research. In addition,
the volume features:
* Multiple new articles exploring emerging topics, such as
evaluation methods with threshold, empirical likelihood methods,
nonparametric ROC analysis, over- and under-dispersed models, and
multi-armed bandit problems
* Up-to-date research on the Cox proportional hazard
model, frailty models, trial reports, intrarater reliability,
conditional power, and the kappa index
* Key qualitative issues including cost-effectiveness
analysis, publication bias, and regulatory issues, which are
crucial to the planning and data management of clinical trials
