For testing one-sided but also two-sided hypotheses concerning several treatment arms in group sequentially performed clinical trials with arbitrary outcome variables, a general learning method is considered that allows for a complete self-designing of the study. All information available prior...

In combining several tests of significance the individual test statistics are allowed to be dependent. By choosing the weighted inverse normal method for the combination, the dependency of the original test statistics is then characterized by a correlation of the transformed statistics. For this...

In einer Re-Analyse der Blue Mountains Eye Study von Cumming, Mitchell und Leeder (1997) wird gezeigt, daß diese Studie keinen Beitrag zur Klärung des Kataraktrisikos von inhalativen Kortikoiden leistet. Akzeptiert man die Schlußweisen der Studie, so ergibt sich ein diffuses und zugleich aber...

A confidence interval for the between group variance is proposed which is deduced from Wald’s exact confidence interval for the ratio of the two variance components in the one-way random effects model and the exact confidence interval for the error variance resp. an unbiased estimator of the...

Die Umsetzung der Richtlinie zur Bestimmung der Anzahl von anorganischen faserförmigen Partikeln auf staubbelegten Filtern wurde in einem Ringversuch von VDI und DIN überprüft. Die Auswertung der Filter wurde zunächst in zwei Referenzlabors und danach in den teilnehmenden Prüflabors...

Concerning the actual significance level, we investigate the commonly used combined test procedures of meta-analysis, which contain the choice of the model, in which the analysis is carried out, and the commonly used tests for treatment effect in the fixed and random effects model, and some new...

In many applications we obtain test statistics by combining estimates from different experiments or studies. The usual combined estimator of the overall effect in independent studies leads to systematic overestimates of the significance level, see Li et al. (1994). This results in a great number...

Sind in einer statistischen Analyse mehr als eine Variationsursache zu berücksichtigen_ so zerfällt die Gesamtvariation in mehrere Komponenten. Für diese sind in der Regel auch Beziehungen oder Ordnungen bekannt. Aber keine der bekannten Schätztheorien ist in der Lage, diese Ordnungen auch...

A class of self-designing clinical trials is considered which according to an effective but simple, finite learning algorithm consists of automatically adaptively planned weighted group sequential trials with a decision about rejection of the null-hypothesis at each step, but the full...
