In the document issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in 2007, “Basic principles on Global Clinical Trials,” an issue was raised about the Japanese subgroup sample size and the importance of “consistency of results.” Ideas on how to calculate the sample size of a given region and the regions overall have been proposed by Uesaka (2006, 2009). For this purpose, he identified two types of consistency criteria and two types of efficacy criteria. For both efficacy and consistency these types consist of either 1) comparing the results of a specific region with those of the other regions combined, or 2) comparing the results of a specific region with those of the regions overall. Based on the efficacy criterion 2, Sekiguchi et al. (2007) examined the sample size of the Japanese subgroup in an oncology MRCT.In this study, we present a simulation that shows the relationship of Japanese subgroup sample size to both types of efficacy criteria in an oncology MRCT.","PeriodicalId":365545,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of biometrics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132533362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While various versions of ICC are used according to study design, the CCC is solely used as an index of agreement among fixed raters. However, we considered other versions of CCC in connection with all types of ICC, as classified by McGraw and Wong (Psychological Methods 1: 30-46, 1996), and examined the similarities and differences between ICCs and CCCs. Because they were found to be compatibly similar to each other, it is considered that CCC has a wider range of applicability and ICC shares the framework of CCC including factors of precision and accuracy as well as applicability to pairwise sub-analysis among multiple raters. Although it is said that some version of ICC should selectively be used according to study purpose and design, useful information is added by the combined use with the other ICCs and CCCs and by pairwise sub-analysis. For a better understanding of the study results, additional information concerning the possible factors which could lower or enhance precision and/or accuracy will be necessary.","PeriodicalId":365545,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of biometrics","volume":"358 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132442039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these experiments, data analysis is often performed on the basis of mixed-effect models so that the individuality effect can be incorporated in the dose-response relationship. This paper studied the influence of the incorporation of random effects on parameters in a logistic model intended for analysis, with the assumption that the dose-response relationship is really described by a four-parameter logistic model. Using Monte-Carlo simulation experiments, we compared the performances of eight models in which various mixed-effects were incorporated. In each of the eight analysis models, five methods of calculation, namely, the standard two-stage method (STS), first-order approximation method (FOA), Laplacian approximation method (LAP), Monte Carlo integration method (MCI), and Gaussian quadrature method (GAU), were applied to the simulation data. The eight analysis models and five estimation methods were compared, using estimability and the deviation of estimates from the true value as the criteria. The results revealed the analysis model incorporating the random effect on only the maximum response to be the best. The results also indicated that the FOA, LAP, MCI, and GAU methods had almost the same performances for this analysis model. The authors recommend LAP as the preferred method because of the simplicity of its calculation.","PeriodicalId":365545,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of biometrics","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121425319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, in some cases, variances may be heterogeneous between levels of factors such as breed and herd as well as sex. Researches about these topics need the method for estimating relevant components of (co)variances. The objectives of this study are to derive a computational procedure of the average information algorithm for the restricted maximum likelihood estimation of the relevant (co)variances, and to estimate genetic correlations between sexes on beef carcass traits. In the current computational procedure, a derived expression for the average information matrix is used, whose elements are expressed using the solutions to the mixed model equations in a bivariate mixed linear model with heterogeneous variance and nil covariance of residuals assumed. For the current procedure, replacing the Hessian matrix by the derived average information matrix, a quasi-Newton type procedure is defined for the iterative estimation. Using simulated datasets, computing performance of the current procedure is investigated comparing with the expectation-maximization algorithm, the current procedure is applied to beef carcass traits data to estimate heritability for each sex and genetic correlation between sexes, and then the characteristics of the current procedure is concisely discussed.","PeriodicalId":365545,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of biometrics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125868237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
