One of the first books on the topic, Adaptive Design Methods Clinical Trials presents the principles and methodologies in adaptive design and analysis that pertain to adaptations made to trial or statistical procedures based on accrued data of ongoing clinical trials. The book also offers a well-balanced summary of current regulatory perspectives, recently developed statistical methods, and practical guidelines for choosing an optimal design. Providing a broad range of adaptive design methods that use both analytical and simulation approaches, this resource fills the need for a unified, comprehensive, and updated book in the clinical research and development of adaptive design and analysis. more...

This volume collects refereed contributions based on the presentations made at the Sixth Workshop on Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology, held at the Istituto di Metrologia “G. Colonnetti” (IMGC), Torino, Italy, in September 2003. It provides a forum for metrologists, mathematicians and software engineers that will encourage a more effective synthesis of skills, capabilities and resources, and promotes collaboration in the context of EU programmes, EUROMET and EA projects, and MRA requirements. It contains articles by an important, worldwide group of metrologists and mathematicians involved in measurement science and, together with the five previous volumes in this series, constitutes an authoritative source for the mathematical, statistical and software tools necessary to modern metrology. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings). • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences. more...

There have been major developments in the field of statistics over the last quarter century, spurred by the rapid advances in computing and data-measurement technologies. These developments have revolutionized the field and have greatly influenced research directions in theory and methodology. Increased computing power has spawned entirely new areas of research in computationally-intensive methods, allowing us to move away from narrowly applicable parametric techniques based on restrictive assumptions to much more flexible and realistic models and methods. These computational advances have also led to the extensive use of simulation and Monte Carlo techniques in statistical inference. All of these developments have, in turn, stimulated new research in theoretical statistics. This volume provides an up-to-date overview of recent advances in statistical modeling and inference. Written by renowned researchers from across the world, it discusses flexible models, semi-parametric methods and transformation models, nonparametric regression and mixture models, survival and reliability analysis, and re-sampling techniques. With its coverage of methodology and theory as well as applications, the book is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners. more...
