Abstract:

The ultimate goal of personalized or precision medicine is to identify the best treatment at patient level considering individual variability. In order to maximize the benefit and minimize potential risk to individual patient, an innovative type of trial is expected, which focuses on individual outcome instead of population or group mean responses to a given intervention. Existing statistical methods in personalized trial include nonparametric test, mixed effect model and autoregressive model. Personalized trial are usually multiple-period crossover trials performed within a single individual. These methods may fail to handle measurements autocorrelation both from consecutive interventions and errors. Also, it is expected to adjust for potential carryover effects. Distributed lag model is a regression model that uses lagged predictors. We propose a Bayesian distributed lag model with autocorrelated errors (BDLAR) that integrate prior knowledge on the shape of lagged coefficients and explicitly model the magnitude and length of carryover effect. We give real data examples to illustrate our method and simulation study was conducted to compare the performance of different models.
