A Bayesian approach to the interpretation of subgroup results in clinical trials
Abstract:
Problems of interpretation often arise when patients who have been entered into a randomized clinical trial are post-stratified according to prognostic descriptors, and treatment comparisons performed within subgroups. In this paper a Bayesian approach to interpreting these comparisons is proposed, which takes into account the investigator's prior expectations concerning the relative magnitudes of treatment effects in different subgroups.

The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
