Abstract:
In similarly designed clinical trials conducted in different regions or a multiregional trial, we sometimes observe different mean responses between trials or regions due to differences in distributions of an ethnic factor. Uesaka et al. ( 2003 ) used adjusted means for covariate, the distribution adjusted mean, to deal with such a situation. This paper examines distributional properties of the distribution adjusted mean and shows its applicability to comparison of mean responses from clinical trials where the distribution of an ethnic factor is different between regions. A real example and simulation results are shown. The results of this paper enable us to evaluate the similarity of different responses in clinical trials from different ethnic populations.

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter
Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...
One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
Choosing Between z and t Distribution
Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used; instead...
