Hi, Could someone help with coding this in R? I need to select one row per patient i in clinic j. The data is organized similar to that shown below. Two columns - patient i in column j identify each unique patient. There are two columns on outcome. Some patients have multiple rows with each row representing one visit, coded for in the column, visit. Some patients have just one row indicatin...

Dear experts, I am asking for help with a question regarding to stratified bootstrap. My dataset is a longitudinal dataset (3 measurements per person at year 1, 4 and 7) composed of multiple clinic centers and multiple participants within each clinic. It has missing values. I want to do a bootstrap to find the standard errors and confidence intervals for my variance components. My model is a mixed model with random clinic and random participant within clinic. I thought two methods to do boo...

I strongly believe that the comments regarding R and the FDA are overly negative and pessimistic. The hurdles to the use of R for clinical trials are shrinking. There has been substantive activity over the past several years, both internally at the FDA and within the R community to increase R's acceptance in this domain. At the Joint Statistical Meetings in 2006, Sue Bell from the FDA spoke during a session with a presentation...

Hello Everyone,   I’m a SAS user who has recently become interested in sequential clinical trials designs. I’ve discovered that the SAS based approaches for these designs are either too costly or are “experimental.” So now I’m looking for alternative software. Two programs that seem promising are SPLUS Seqtrial and R.   I recently obtained a 30 day trial for the SPLUS Seqtrial add-on a...

Dear all, There have been a variety of discussions on the R list regarding the use of R in clinical trials. The following post from the STATA list provides an interesting opinion regarding why SAS remains so popular in this arena: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-01/msg00098.html Regards, -Cody Hamilton

Hi, I have a series of id's with multiple visits and questionnaire scores. This is a clinical trial that will be analyzed using the last observation carried forward method. In other words, in order to comply with intent to treat analysis when many subjects withdraw, data points for the last visit must be generated and filled in with the last observation. The ultimate goal is to tabulate...

Hi all, I happened to be reviewing a Linux web site that I frequent (http://www.pclinuxonline.com/index.php) and noted today an entry for an article on R at IBM's developerWorks Server Clinic site located at http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sc16.html. I thought that I would pass this on as an FYI. Regards, Marc Schwartz

...d to my last post about Schafer's MI packages. I am really pleased to have access to them through R which, I have to say, is an amazing piece of software. I am only sorry that I haven't found it until now. But, to my question. Does anyone know if there is a package developed for evaluating clinical significance using Jacobson and Truax's, or variations thereof, procedures?

Does anyone know if for clinical studies the FDA would accept statistical analyses performed with R ? Delphine Fontaine

I am trying to build a model to aid a clinical decision. Certain patients have a blood marker measured at each visit - a rise of this may indicate recurrence of the cancer after treatment (endpoint is "clinical recurrence", censored). In a proportion (up to 30%), this rise is a false positive - hence I wish to correlate factors at t...
