This study introduces a new statistical method for analyzing binary data from split-cluster designs, common in health research. The developed procedure offers a robust way to compare event rates across different treatment groups within these complex designs.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Health Sciences Research
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Split-cluster designs are prevalent in health sciences, utilizing naturally occurring clusters like organs or sites within subjects.
  • Existing statistical methods for analyzing binary data from these designs are underdeveloped, posing analytical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel statistical procedure for testing the equality of event rates in split-cluster designs.
  • To address the limitations in current statistical methodologies for binary data analysis in such designs.

Main Methods:

  • The study proposes a new test statistic that generalizes a previously published method.
  • The statistic is based on adjusting the standard Pearson chi-square statistic.
  • The procedure can also be derived using the generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach as a score test.
