Most studies utilize fixed-sample designs. Fixed-sample design: collect a pre-specified number of subjects and test our hypthesis. Randomize 200 patients to either a novel treatment or placebo and compare survival using a log-rank test.
Sequential analysis
In a randomized trial with two treatment groups, group sequential testing may for example be conducted in the following manner: After n subjects in each group are available an interim analysis is conducted. A statistical test is performed to compare the two groups and if the null hypothesis is rejected the trial is terminated; otherwise, the trial continues, another n subjects per group are recruited, and the statistical test is performed again, including all subjects. If the null i…
Using Trial Sequential Analysis for estimating the …
We describe using feasibility and pilot trial data in the Trial Sequential Analysis software to estimate the required sample size for one or more trials investigating a behavioural smoking cessation intervention.
Sequential Analysis
The concept of sequential analysis (see Chapter 22, Clinical trials and group sequential analysis) is to test the hypothesis successively with each new datum. The result of the test falls into the …
How to perform and write a trial sequential analysis
Trial sequential analysis is used in meta-analysis of intervention studies or RCTs to determine if there is enough evidence for an intervention to be labelled as futile or effective; this closely resembles the aim of interim analyses …
Mixed Methods Research
Example: Exploratory sequential design You first interview cyclists to develop an initial understanding of problem areas, and draw preliminary conclusions. Then you analyze …
(PDF) A sequential explanatory mixed methods study …
This example illustrates how integration can be achieved and emphasises how a weaving technique can be used, and findings are presented in a joint display and extreme case analysis.
Using Mixed-Methods Sequential Explanatory Design: From …
This article discusses some procedural issues related to the mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, which implies collecting and analyzing quantitative and then qualitative …
Sequential Analysis
Data often arrives sequentially, rather than as a collection. When this occurs – or when the experiment can be designed so that this occurs – there can be a considerable …
