Multi-arm response-adaptive designs for circular responses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of The Korean Statistical Society"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jkss.2019.03.005
Abstract: Abstract A 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… read more here.
