Abstract

We consider two regression models for multivariate binary data in the case that the marginal success probabilities are unequal. The first model is based on an additive random effect operating on the probability scale. The second model assumes a discrete random effect operates on the logit scale. Consequently the interpretation of the regression parameters differs for the two models. Their use is illustrated by application to some dental data.

[Conservative experimental groups in clinical comparative trials. Tables providing the minimum number of patients].

To calculate the minimum size of sample required for clinical trials it is first necessary to decide the expected difference between the groups, and then the acceptable risk of wrongly declaring a significant result (alpha) or wrongly declaring a non-significant result (beta). Once these three parameters are set, simple tables can show the necessary sample sizes. Such tables are presented for classical comparative studies, survival studies, and group sequential plans. Sequential plans often entail large savings in sample size compared with fixed group plans.

Influence of experimental errors on the determination of flux control coefficients from transient metabolite concentrations.

The influence of experimental errors on the determination of flux control coefficients from transient metabolite concentrations with the method proposed by Delgado and Liao [(1992) Biochem. J. 282, 919-927] has been investigated by using Monte Carlo simulations. The method requires least-squares fitting of the transient metabolite concentrations. Three different fitting methods have been evaluated. Simulated metabolite concentrations of a fictive metabolic pathway were scattered randomly, emulating experimental errors, before performing the fits. This was repeated a large number of times; the mean values and standard deviations of the resulting control coefficients are reported. The results show that the proposed method for determining control coefficients is too sensitive to experimental errors to be practicable, with theoretically justified fitting methods. This is in particular due to the high degree of correlation between the concentrations. An alternative ad hoc fitting method produced biased mean values of the estimates of the control coefficients, but with remarkably low standard deviations.
