Sequential estimation with data-dependent allocation and time trends

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This note concerns the estimation of treatment difference following a sequential test in which two treatments are to be compared and treatment allocation is data-dependent. Woodroofe(1989) considered this problem when the responses are independent and identically distributed. In this paper, it is shown that woodroof'es asymptotic results also work well for the modified sequential test of coad (1991), which allows for possible linear time trends in the data.
