Conventional clinical trial design involves considerations of power, and sample size is typically
chosen to achieve a desired power conditional on a specified treatment effect. In practice…

This report documents the development of an inverter control method that detects and avoids
islanding in utility-interconnected photovoltaic installations. This method is applicable to …

Aims Individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) have
an increased risk of progression to Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of this review …

BACKGROUND Remote monitoring (RM) strategies have the potential to deliver specialised
care and management to patients with heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVE To determine the …

Knowledge of the charge efficiency of Pb-acid batteries near top-of-charge is important to the
design of small PV power systems. In order to know how much energy is required from the …

Context Readmission to hospital for heart failure is common after recent discharge. Remote
monitoring (RM) strategies have the potential to deliver specialised care and management …

The authors present an analysis of the choice of sample sizes for demonstrating cost-effectiveness
of a new treatment or procedure, when data on both cost and efficacy will be collected …

Objectives This meta‐analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of prehospital continuous
positive airway pressure ( CPAP ) or bilevel inspiratory positive airway pressure (Bi PAP ) …

Background Tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. Nearly one-fifth
of adults in the UK regularly smoke cigarettes. The ill-health associated with smoking …

We present a general Bayesian framework for cost‐effectiveness analysis (CEA) from clinical
trial data. This framework allows for very flexible modelling of both cost and efficacy related …
