We developed a new statistical model for analyzing repeated measurements from serial dilution assays, improving the estimation of treatment effects on viral titers. This method enhances the accuracy of antiviral efficiency comparisons, particularly for HIV treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Immunology
  • Virology

Background:

  • Serial dilution assays are crucial for measuring biological titers.
  • Accurate estimation of marginal effects in repeated measures is vital for assessing treatment efficacy.
  • Traditional methods face challenges with nonestimable individual titers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a generalized linear mixed model for estimating and testing marginal effects on titers from serial dilution assays.
  • To address limitations of existing methods in handling nonestimable titers.
  • To compare the performance of proposed statistical tests against traditional ones.

Main Methods:

  • Generalized linear mixed model with a log-log link function.
  • Gamma distribution assumption for titer data.

  • Estimation via generalized estimating equations.
  • Marginal effects testing using Wald and score tests with robust variance estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model effectively estimates marginal effects on titers.
    • Wald and score tests demonstrated robust performance in simulations.
    • The method successfully handles nonestimable individual titers.
    • Simulations showed competitive or superior performance compared to Wilcoxon and Student t-tests.

    Conclusions:

    • The generalized linear mixed model provides a robust framework for analyzing serial dilution assay data.
    • This approach offers improved estimation and testing of marginal effects, particularly for antiviral studies.
    • The method is applicable to comparing the efficacy of treatments, such as those against HIV.
