Days Alive at Home vs Out of Hospital: Why the Difference Matters for Trial Endpoints

Letao Yuan, Sarah N. Dawson, David S. Robertson +5

Days Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH) and Days Alive at Home (DAH) are increasingly used as patient-centred primary outcomes in perioperative trials, and a recent editorial has adv…

Introducing precision-weighted bias as a performance measure to inform the inclusion of adaptive designs in meta-analysis

Martin Law, David S. Robertson, Sofia S. Villar +4

We propose a novel, intuitive measure of statistical performance: precision-weighted bias. Precision-weighted bias is defined as the unconditional bias of an estimator weighted by…

Operationalizing Allocation Probability Tests: Practical Guidance on Optimized Implementation for Power and Robustness

Stina Zetterstrom, David S. Robertson, Thomas Jaki +1

Recently, a new testing approach for response-adaptive clinical trials was proposed based on the allocation probabilities (AP) rather than the outcome data. While original work on…
