Change from baseline! I must have forgotten or misunderstood that. Are these subject level (pointless) or period level (tricky) or something else altogether?

…I suppose that modelling the full distribution of scores could be useful. That seems plausible. Around about 2000 I came across an extreme value problem (modelling vial strengths in a destructive testing process) where all the models I could think of performed badly…

Hearing Brent James speak at ASA in Vancouver (2010?) made me think that over control might be an even bigger problem than I had thought it was.
It was Amy Racine who introduced me to Lewis Sheiner (circa 1990) and work on sparse PK designs that first got me interested in the problem…

Some of this is true but the reporting has a pro academia anti pharma bias. The vast majority of investigator-led trials are poor. The shining exceptions, often based on very elderly sometimes repurposed drugs, are compared to the industry average. That’s not acceptable statistical practice.

An Empirical Assessment of the Cost of Dichotomization of the Outcome of Clinical Trials - PubMed We have studied 21 435 unique randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR). Of these trials, 7224 (34%) have a continuous (numerical) outcome and 14 211 (66%) have a binary outcome. We find that trials with a binary outcome have larger sample sizes on a …

I don’t know. In 99% of clinical trials they are both wrong because they are being used on a dichotomy. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41641823/
