Abstract:
|
Group sequential methods are commonly used in clinical trials as they allow valid inference when statistical tests are performed on accumulating data from ongoing trials. Several software applications have become available to meet the computational need for group sequential trial design and monitoring. This talk will review several up-to-date software applications. The capabilities and special features of the software applications are illustrated and compared through practical examples.
