Item Selection With Biased-Coin Up-and-Down Designs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Targeting any arbitrary percentile, the biased-coin up-and-down design is theoretically appealing and can provide an efficient alternative to the current maximum Fisher information method for item selection in adaptive testing. This paper illustrates the

A Sequential Probability Ratio Test Using a Biased Coin Design

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1985
Consider a sequential probability ratio test comparing two treatments, where each subject receives only one of the treatments. Each subject's treatment assignment is determined by the flip of a biased coin, where the bias serves to balance the number of patients assigned to each treatment.

Generalized Efron's biased coin design and its theoretical properties

open access: yesJournal of Applied Probability, 2016
AbstractIn clinical trials with two treatment arms, Efron's biased coin design, Efron (1971), sequentially assigns a patient to the underrepresented arm with probabilityp> ½. Under this design the proportion of patients in any arm converges to ½, and the convergence rate isn-1, as opposed ton-½under some other popular designs.

Biased coin designs: some properties and applications

open access: yes, 1995
A brief review of biased coin designs is presented. Some asymptotic properties of the adaptive biased coin designs of Wei (1978) and Eisele (1994) are given. Applications of biased coin designs to estimation and testing problems are also given.

The minimum effective concentration (MEC90) of bupivacaine for an ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block for analgesia in knee surgery: a dose-finding study [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology
Background In recent years, the suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SFICB) has become more common in clinical practice. This assessor-blinded dose-finding study aimed to determine the minimum effective concentration (MEC90, MEC95) of ...

Multi-objective optimal designs in comparative clinical trials with covariates: The reinforced doubly adaptive biased coin design

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 2012
The present paper deals with the problem of allocating patients to two competing treatments in the presence of covariates or prognostic factors in order to achieve a good trade-off among ethical concerns, inferential precision and randomness in the treatment allocations.

Determination of ED90 and ED99 of Oliceridine combined with Propofol in inhibiting responses to gastroscope insertion: a biased coin up-and-down design

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology
Background Gastroscopy is a common medical procedure, but the insertion of the endoscope often causes significant discomfort and anxiety in patients, necessitating effective sedation strategies.

The EC90 of remifentanil for blunting cardiovascular responses to head fixation for neurosurgery under total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil based on bispectral index monitoring: estimation with the biased coin up-and-down sequential method

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Background Head fixation can induce hemodynamic instability. Remifentanil is commonly used with propofol for total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) during neurosurgery.
