Yes but no but yes but no but… [RSABE / ABEL]
Hi Martin!
Theoretically OK.
… or it is larger than 0.3 in stage 1 and in the pooled data set (n↑ = more precise estimate) you find one which is ≤0.3? If the inflation is real (still not sure) we have a problem – only with EMA’s method – in the CV-range 0.3–0.5. IMHO there are two options:
❝ what about defining the extent of scaling after interim analysis of the first stage data (CV estimated in 1st stage) within a group-sequential adaptive design?
Theoretically OK.
❝ Drawback: BUT what if the CV at interim is smaller than 0.3 ...
… or it is larger than 0.3 in stage 1 and in the pooled data set (n↑ = more precise estimate) you find one which is ≤0.3? If the inflation is real (still not sure) we have a problem – only with EMA’s method – in the CV-range 0.3–0.5. IMHO there are two options:
- Iteratively adjust α.
- Use a fixed α of ~0.030 for partial replicates and ~0.025 for full replicates if CVWR ≤0.5 (see plots above). This should cover the entire range of designs and sample sizes of up to 96. The maximum adjustment (at 0.3) is almost independent from sample size (see plot below). Conservative for any CV >0.3…
