When conducting a paired $2times2$ crossover design, each subject is paired with another subject with similar characteristics. The pair is then randomized to the same sequence of two treatments. That is, the two subjects receive the first experimental treatment, and then they cross over and receive the other experimental treatment(s). The paired $2times2$ crossover design that was used in the Beta Adrenergic Response by GEnotype (BARGE) Study conducted by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes Asthma Clinical Research Network (ACRN) has been described elsewhere. When the data arising from such a design are balanced and complete -- or if at least any missingness that occurs is at random -- general linear mixed-effects model methods can be used to analyze the data. In this paper, we present a method based on a pattern-mixture model for analyzing the data arising from a paired $2times2$ crossover design when some of the data are missing in a non-ignorable fashion. Because of its inherent scientific interest, we focus our particular attention on the estimation of the treatment-by-type of subject interaction term. Finally, we illustrate the pattern-mixture model methods described in this paper on the data arising from the BARGE study.
The Bradley-Terry model assigns probabilities for the outcome of paired comparison experiments based on strength parameters associated with the objects being compared. We consider different proposed choices of prior parameter distributions for Bayesi
We study a dimensionality reduction technique for finite mixtures of high-dimensional multivariate response regression models. Both the dimension of the response and the number of predictors are allowed to exceed the sample size. We consider predicto
We show that the distribution of the scalar Schur complement in a noncentral Wishart matrix is a mixture of central chi-square distributions with different degrees of freedom. For the case of a rank-1 noncentrality matrix, the weights of the mixture
In this paper, we prove almost surely consistency of a Survival Analysis model, which puts a Gaussian process, mapped to the unit interval, as a prior on the so-called hazard function. We assume our data is given by survival lifetimes $T$ belonging t
We consider the problem of choosing between several models in least-squares regression with heteroscedastic data. We prove that any penalization procedure is suboptimal when the penalty is a function of the dimension of the model, at least for some t
