Popis: | Sample size characteristics for the performance of time to event response surface studies are determined where both proportional hazards and quadratic surfaces apply. Single drug activity is evaluated through the use of confidence intervals and computer simulations are employed to assess design characteristics including optimum location, grouping and censoring. Confidence intervals can be reliably constructed for the smallest sample size considered (n=48). Power considerations applicable to pre clinical studies are presented with discussion of extensions including clinical applications. |
