具有协变量的异方差模型中治疗对比的最优试验设计

Optimal experimental designs for treatment contrasts in heteroscedastic models with covariates

Samuel Rosa

摘要:

在临床试验中,特定受试者的反应通常取决于所选择的治疗以及一些协变量。本文研究了具有处理和协变量效应的模型中的最优近似试验设计。我们允许响应的方差取决于所选择的处理,这将异方差引入模型。为了估计系统的治疗对比度和线性函数的协变量,我们扩展了已知的结果D-最优的产品设计,提供产品设计是最佳的一般特征值为基础的标准。特别是,A-和E-最优产品设计。然后,我们制定了一个基于线性规划的方法,用于构建最优设计与最优产品设计的较小支持。稀疏设计可以更容易地转换为实际适用的精确设计。所提供的结果和建议的稀疏化方法上的一些例子证明。

英文摘要:

In clinical trials, the response of a given subject often depends on the selected treatment as well as on some covariates. We study optimal approximate designs of experiments in the models with treatment and covariate effects. We allow for the variances of the responses to depend on the chosen treatments, which introduces heteroscedasticity into the models. For estimating systems of treatment contrasts and linear functions of the covariates, we extend known results on D-optimality of product designs by providing product designs that are optimal with respect to general eigenvalue-based criteria. In particular, A- and E-optimal product designs are obtained. We then formulate a method based on linear programming for constructing optimal designs with smaller supports from the optimal product designs. The sparser designs can be more easily converted to practically applicable exact designs. The provided results and the proposed sparsification method are demonstrated on some examples.
