similar to: Sample Size Calculation using a Drop the Loser/Keep the Winner Design

Hello all, I would like to plan and analyse a study with "k" treatments (one of which is a "control"), with some binary outcome, in order to find the "best" treatment (e.g: the one with a high number of "successes"). If this was done with a fixed sample size, the analysis is well known. However, I would rather be able to "drop" treatment(s), if

I am writing a rails app with my colleague who wrote a lot of the tests. He had to take a leave of absence due to a death in his family, and I am needing helps with changing the model so that the tests will pass in our spec file. Here is the model: class Worker < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name has_many :writings end Here is the spec:

Dear all, I have carried out a pairwise comparison study that I want to analyze using the BradleyTerry package to establish a rank order of my stimuli. However, BT does not handle ties between stimuli, so I need to find those in my data before I can use that model. The code below goes from the format of my result file(s) to a data frame suitable for BT, but as you can see, there are some ties. I

I don't see the problem with the following... the citations and baseball data work fine, but my simulated data seems to give BTm a headache. What am I missing? --- library(BradleyTerry) library(doBy) ng <- 100 players <- factor( sort( c( "jeff", "mike", "paul", "rich" ) ) ) np <- length( players ) p1 <- factor( c( rep( "jeff", ng )

Last night, a little Camping application I wrote called MetaNotes<http://www.metanotes.com/>won the Experimental division in the SXSW Web Awards<http://2008.sxsw.com/interactive/web_awards/finalists/> . MetaNotes is a site that lets you (and many other people) simultaneously place colorful post-it notes on a wide canvas. If you get lucky, you may see notes move in the background as

Congratulations to some1else on his winning design! I'd also like to thank all the designers who submitted entries and all of you who took the time to vote. A lot of effort went into this contest and I'm quite impressed by the large number of high quality entries we had. Here is the winning design: http://www.go-compiz.org/index.php?title=Image:Compiz_final_v.png Once again,

Thanks to Jason Balicki for the correct fix to this problem. The 'webclient' service in Windows XP, somehow interferes with access to the Samba server. With the service stopped and disabled, the clients are working again.

Salve, the German IT-Magazin (#1) www.heise.de/ct has made an audio-codec test online.

Hi, I''m working on an app - my first Rails - and am looking for some suggestions on the best way (or good way) to set up my models / DB. In general there are teams and matches; a team will participate in multiple matches, and in each match there will be 6 teams - 3 vs. 3. I''m going to want to be able, for a particular team, pull up all matches for that team, to display a

I have a few SIP phones, Cisco 7960s, and was looking into implementing some compression, ala G.729. I'm looking into purchasing a g729 licenses just to get an idea of performance and voice quality, over lans, wireless and single channel isdn. Does anyone have positive/negative experience w/ getting licenses/support from Digium? Hows the sound quality compared w/ g.711? Is 729 better

Hello Everyone, I've been looking at benchmarks of LLVM recently, and overall they look pretty good. Aside from things that use OpenMP or benefit from autovectorisation, Clang/LLVM and GCC seem to come fairly close, with no overall winner. But: there do seem to have been a number of performance regressions between 2.9 and 3.0: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1110178-AR-1110173AR66

I'm trying to filter calls that don't have a proper ANI. This is what I did: ; only if they a real-looking ANI exten=_1XXXXXX1118/_.N.,1,Newt,1118-config ; Otherwise, send them to the loser partyline exten=_1XXXXXX1118,1,Goto(outtrunk,19096611234,1) This properly deals with null ANIs, but for some reason those with ten zeroes get matched by the first line. I also tried to be a bit more
