Probability models and computational models for ANOVA in multicenter clinical trials

Abstract:
Multicenter trials are usually analyzed by fixed-effects, two-way analysis of variance. A mixed-effects computation with random treatment-by-center interaction may produce better results even if this interaction is considered truly to be a fixed effect. It may be more appropriate, however, to consider the treatment-by-center interaction to be a random effect, anyway.

What is an ANOVA?
Before performing ANOVA, one must ensure that the samples used for this analysis have three crucial characteristics or statistical assumptions. The first assumption states that the samples should be drawn from normally distributed samples, while the second requires that all the drawn samples should be randomly and...
