Outline


  • Update in the simulation design

  • Check individual simulations

  • Updated results

Updates in the simulation design

http://rpubs.com/alecri/probio_sim

  • decision rules (2. graduation):

    • \( n_{xl} \ge 50 \)
    • \( p_{xl} \ge 0.85 \)
    • \( p_{xk} \ge 0.15 \; \forall l = 1, \dots, 9 \textrm{ and } \forall k \in l \)
  • reassigning patients whose tumor progressed

  • changing effect sizes in the survival model

Weibull Model

\( T_{ixk} \sim Weibull(\textrm{shape} = 2, \textrm{scale}_{xk}) \)
\( i = 1, \dots, n_{xk}, \;\; \) \( x = 2, \dots, 6 \; \) \( k = 1, \dots, 12 \)

The mean PFS time for an ineffective treatment is 5.32 months (median 5),
while it is 15.95 months for the active ones (median 14.99)

Results 1: No treatment effective in any subtype
