Hybrid Frequentist/Bayesian Power and Bayesian Power in Planning Clinical Trials : Chapman & Hall/CRC : 9781032111292 : 1032111291 : 20 Jun 2022 : Hybrid Frequentist/Bayesian Power and Bayesian Power in Planning Clinical Trials provides a practical introduction to unconditional approaches to planning randomised clinical trials, particularly aimed at drug development in the pharmaceutical industry. This book is aimed at providing guidance to practitioners in using average power, assurance and related concepts. This book brings together recent research and sets them in a consistent framework and provides a fresh insight into how such methods can be used. Features: A focus on normal theory linking average power, expected power, predictive power, assurance, conditional Bayesian power and Bayesian power.Extensions of the concepts to binomial, and time-to-event outcomes and non-inferiority trialsAn investigation into the upper bound on average power, assurance and Bayesian power based on t
