Description for The Theory of Response-Adaptive Randomization in Clinical Trials
Hardcover. In this well written book, the authors treat the fundamental question of response-adaptive randomization as dealing with the trade-off between minimizing the expected number of treatment failures and maximizing the power of inferential tests. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 232 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: MB; PB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 166 x 19. Weight in Grams: 488.

The Theory of Response-Adaptive Randomization in Clinical Trials is the result of the authors' ten-year collaboration as well as their collaborations with other researchers in investigating the important questions regarding response-adaptive randomization in a rigorous mathematical framework. Response-adaptive allocation has a long history in biostatistics literature; however, largely due to the disastrous ECMO trial in the early 1980s, there is a general reluctance to use these procedures.
This timely book represents a mathematically rigorous subdiscipline of experimental design involving randomization and answers fundamental questions, including:
