Abstract

The treatment effect in clinical tests depending on dose of the drug; however, it can show a decreasing trend in fixed dose level due to side effects. The trend is known as an umbrella pattern; in addition, the method for the umbrella alternative is quite useful when the tendency is predicted in advance. In this paper, we propose a nonparametric method of umbrella alternatives for a one-way layout by using linear placement described in Orban and Wolfe (1982). The Monte Carlo simulation is adapted to compare the power of proposed procedure with previous methods.

임상시험에서 약의 복용량에 따라 처리 효과가 증가하다가, 부작용으로 인해 일정 용량 수준에서 감소하는 추세를 보일 수 있다. 이러한 경향을 우산형 패턴이라 하며, 우산형 패턴의 대립가설에 대한 검정은 이러한 경향이 사전에 예측 가능할 때 유용하다. 이 논문에서는 Orban과 Wolfe (1982)가 제안한 선형 위치(linear placement)를 이용하여 일원배치법에서 우산형 대립가설의 비모수적 검정법을 제안하였다. 또한 Monte Carlo 모의실험을 통하여 기존의 방법들과 검정력(power)을 비교하였다.
