1 Chapter 448 Superiority by a Margin Tet for Two Mean uing Difference Introduction Thi procedure compute power and ample ize for uperiority by a margin tet in two-ample deign in which the outcome i a continuou normal random variable. Meaurement are made on individual that have been randomly aigned to one of two group. Thi i ometime referred to a a parallel-group deign. Thi deign i ued in ituation uch a the comparion of the income level of two region, the nitrogen content of two lake, or the effectivene of two drug. The two-ample t-tet i commonly ued with thi ituation. When the variance of the two group are unequal, Welch t-tet may be ued. When the data are not normally ditributed, the Mann-Whitney (Wilcoxon igned-rank) U tet may be ued. The detail of ample ize calculation for the two-ample deign are preented in the Two-Sample T-Tet chapter and they will not be duplicated here. Thi chapter only dicue thoe change neceary for non-inferiority and uperiority (or non-zero null) tet. Sample ize formula for non-inferiority and uperiority tet of two mean are preented in Chow et al. (003) page The Statitical Hypothee Both non-inferiority and uperiority tet are example of directional (one-ided) tet and their power and ample ize could be calculated uing the Two-Sample T-Tet procedure. However, at the urging of our uer, we have developed thi module, which provide the input and output in format that are convenient for thee type of tet. Thi ection will review the pecific of non-inferiority and uperiority teting. Remember that in the uual t-tet etting, the null (H0) and alternative (H) hypothee for one-ided tet are defined a H 0 :µ µ D veru H :µ µ Rejecting thi tet implie that the mean difference i larger than the value D. Thi tet i called an upper-tailed tet becaue it i rejected in ample in which the difference between the ample mean i larger than D. Following i an example of a lower-tailed tet. H 0 :µ µ D veru H :µ µ on-inferiority and uperiority tet are pecial cae of the above directional tet. It will be convenient to adopt the following pecialized notation for the dicuion of thee tet. > D < D 448-
2 Parameter PASS Input/Output Interpretation µ ot ued Mean of population. Population i aumed to conit of thoe who have received the new treatment. µ ot ued Mean of population. Population i aumed to conit of thoe who have received the reference treatment. M SM Margin of uperiority. Thi i a tolerance value that define the magnitude of difference that i required for practical importance. Thi may be thought of a the mallet difference from the reference that i conidered to be different. δ D True difference. Thi i the value of µ µ, the difference between the mean. Thi i the value at which the power i calculated. ote that the actual value of µ and µ are not needed. Only their difference i needed for power and ample ize calculation. Superiority Tet A uperiority by a margin tet tet that the treatment mean i better than the reference mean by more than the uperiority margin. The actual direction of the hypothei depend on the repone variable being tudied. Cae : High Value Good In thi cae, higher value are better. The hypothee are arranged o that rejecting the null hypothei implie that the treatment mean i greater than the reference mean by at leat the margin of uperiority. The value of δ mut be greater than M. The following are equivalent et of hypothee. S H 0 : µ µ + M S veru H : µ µ + M S > H 0 : µ µ M S veru H : µ µ > M S H 0 :δ M S veru H :δ > M S Cae : High Value Bad In thi cae, lower value are better. The hypothee are arranged o that rejecting the null hypothei implie that the treatment mean i le than the reference mean by at leat the margin of uperiority. The value of δ mut be le than ε. The following are equivalent et of hypothee. H : µ µ veru H : µ < µ M S 0 M S H 0 : µ µ M S veru H : µ µ < M S H :δ M S veru H :δ < M S
3 Example A uperiority tet example will et the tage for the dicuion of the terminology that follow. Suppoe that a tet i to be conducted to determine if a new cancer treatment ubtantially improve mean bone denity. The adjuted mean bone denity (AMBD) in the population of interet i gm/cm with a tandard deviation of gm/cm. Clinician decide that if the treatment increae AMBD by more than 5% ( gm/cm), it provide a ignificant health benefit. The hypothei of interet i whether the mean AMBD in the treated group i more than above that of the reference group. The tatitical tet will be et up o that if the null hypothei i rejected, the concluion will be that the new treatment i uperior. The value gm/cm i called the margin of uperiority. Tet Statitic Thi ection decribe the tet tatitic that are available in thi procedure. Two-Sample T-Tet Under the null hypothei, thi tet aume that the two group of data are imple random ample from a ingle population of normally-ditributed value that all have the ame mean and variance. Thi aumption implie that the data are continuou and their ditribution i ymmetric. The calculation of the tet tatitic for the cae when higher repone value are good i a follow. where t df ( X X) X X ε X k k X i k ki X X ( X i X) + ( X i X ) i i + + df + The null hypothei i rejected if the computed p-value i le than a pecified level (uually 0.05). Otherwie, no concluion can be reached. Welch T-Tet Welch (938) propoed the following tet when the two variance are not aumed to be equal. t * f ( X X ) * X X ε 448-3
4 where * X X ( X i X) ( ) i + i ( X i X ) ( ) f ( ) ( ) 4 ( X i X) i, ( X i X ) i Mann-Whitney U Tet Thi tet i the nonparametric ubtitute for the equal-variance t-tet. Two key aumption are that the ditribution are at leat ordinal and that they are identical under H0. Thi mean that tie (repeated value) are not acceptable. When tie are preent, you can ue approximation, but the theoretic reult no longer hold. The Mann-Whitney tet tatitic i defined a follow in Gibbon (985). where W ( ) Rank X k k W ( + + ) + C z The rank are determined after combining the two ample. The tandard deviation i calculated a W W 3 ( ti ti ) ( + + ) i ( + )( + ) where t i i the number of obervation tied at value one, t i the number of obervation tied at ome value two, and o forth. The correction factor, C, i 0.5 if the ret of the numerator i negative or -0.5 otherwie. The value of z i then compared to the normal ditribution
5 Computing the Power Standard Deviation Equal When σ σ σ, the power of the t tet i calculated a follow.. Find t α uch that Tdf ( tα ) α, where Tdf ( tα ) df +.. Calculate: σ σ x + ε δ 3. Calculate the noncentrality parameter: λ σ 4. Calculate: Power Tdf,λ ( tα ), where T ( x) x i the area under a central-t curve to the left of x and df,λ i the area to the left of x under a noncentral-t curve with degree of freedom df and noncentrality parameter λ. Standard Deviation Unequal Thi cae often recommend Welch tet. When σ σ, the power i calculated a follow. σ σ. Calculate: σ +.. Calculate: f x 4 σ x - σ 4 ( +) + σ 4 ( +) which i the adjuted degree of freedom. Often, thi i rounded to the next highet integer. ote that thi i not the value of f ued in the computation of the actual tet. Intead, thi i the expected value of f. 3. Find t α uch that Tf ( tα ) α, where Tf ( tα ) degree of freedom. ε 4. Calculate: λ, the noncentrality parameter. σ x 5. Calculate: Power Tf,λ ( tα ) ( ), where T x degree of freedom f and noncentrality parameter λ. i the area to the left of x under a central-t curve with f f,λ i the area to the left of x under a noncentral-t curve with onparametric Adjutment When uing the Mann-Whitney tet rather than the t tet, reult by Al-Sunduqchi and Guenther (990) indicate that power calculation for the Mann-Whitney tet may be made uing the tandard t tet formulation with a imple adjutment to the ample ize. The ize of the adjutment depend on the actual ditribution of the data. They give ample ize adjutment factor for four ditribution. Thee are for uniform, /3 for double exponential, 9 / π for logitic, and π / 3 for normal ditribution
6 Procedure Option Thi ection decribe the option that are pecific to thi procedure. Thee are located on the Deign tab. For more information about the option of other tab, go to the Procedure Window chapter. Deign Tab The Deign tab contain mot of the parameter and option that you will be concerned with. Solve For Solve For Thi option pecifie the parameter to be calculated from the value of the other parameter. Under mot condition, you would elect either Power or Sample Size (). Select Sample Size () when you want to determine the ample ize needed to achieve a given power and alpha. Select Power when you want to calculate the power of an experiment that ha already been run. Tet Higher Mean Are Thi option define whether higher value of the repone variable are to be conidered better or wore. The choice here determine the direction of the tet. If Higher Mean Are Better the null hypothei i Diff SM and the alternative hypothei i Diff > SM. If Higher Mean Are Wore the null hypothei i Diff -SM and the alternative hypothei i Diff < -SM. onparametric Adjutment (Mann-Whitney Tet) Thi option make appropriate ample ize adjutment for the Mann-Whitney tet. Reult by Al-Sunduqchi and Guenther (990) indicate that power calculation for the Mann-Whitney tet may be made uing the tandard t tet formulation with a imple adjutment to the ample ize. The ize of the adjutment depend upon the actual ditribution of the data. They give ample ize adjutment factor for four ditribution. Thee are for the uniform ditribution, /3 for the double exponential ditribution, 9 / π for the logitic ditribution, and π / 3 for the normal ditribution. The option are a follow: Ignore Do not make a Mann-Whitney adjutment. Thi indicate that you want to analyze a t tet, not the Wilcoxon tet. Uniform Make the Mann-Whitney ample ize adjutment auming the uniform ditribution. Since the factor i one, thi option perform the ame function a Ignore. It i included for completene. Double Exponential Make the Mann-Whitney ample ize adjutment auming that the data actually follow the double exponential ditribution
