Multi-arm response-adaptive designs for circular responses

Publication date: Available online 17 April 2019Source: Journal of the Korean Statistical SocietyAuthor(s): Atanu Biswas, Rahul Bhattacharya, Taranga MukherjeeAbstractA multi-arm response-adaptive allocation design is developed for circular treatment outcomes. Several exact and asymptotic properties of the design are studied. Stage-wise treatment selection procedures based on the proposed response-adaptive design are also suggested to exclude the worse performing treatment(s) at earlier stages. Detailed simulation study is carried out to evaluate the proposed selection procedures. The applicability of the proposed methodologies is illustrated through a real clinical trial data on cataract surgery.
