Enhanced Mixture Gateekeeping Procedures with Hierarchy Modification

George Kordzakhia, PhD

 

Abstract: 

Mixture gatekeeping procedures allow to account for clinically relevant logical relationship among the null hypotheses of interest (Dimitrienko and Tamhane (2011, 2013)). This presentation discusses an enhancement of the mixture method applicable to a specific class of logical relationships – serial logical restrictions with transitivity condition. We further discuss extension of the mixture gatekeeping to a group sequential setting with modified hierarchy at the interim analysis.
