Some t-tests for N-of-1 trials with serial correlation

N-of-1 trials allow inference between two treatments given to a single individual. Most often, clinical investigators analyze an individual's N-of-1 trial data with usual t-tests or simple nonparametric methods. These simple methods do not account for serial correlation in repeated observations coming from the individual. Existing methods accounting for serial correlation require simulation, multiple N-of-1 trials, or both. Here, we develop t-tests that account for serial correlation in a single individual. The development includes effect size and precision calculations, both of which are useful for study planning. We then evaluate and compare their Type I and II errors and interval estimators to those of usual t-tests analogues via Monte Carlo simulation. The serial t-tests clearly outperform the usual t-tests commonly used in reporting N-of-1 results. Examples from N-of-1 clinical trials in fibromyalgia patients and from a behavioral health setting exhibit how accounting for serial correlation can change inferences. These t-tests are easily implemented and more appropriate than simple methods commonly used; however, caution is needed when analyzing only a few observations.

Übersicht der nach Naturschutzrecht geschützten Gebiete und Objekte Sachsen-Anhalts und Informationen zu den Änderungen bei den Schutzgebieten sowie im Bestand der NATURA 2000-Gebiete im Jahr 2004

Im Landesamt für Umweltschutz wird gemäß §42 des Naturschutzgesetzes des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt das zentrale Naturschutzregister des Landes geführt. Alljährlich zum Jahresende findet mit den zuständigen Naturschutzbehörden ein Abgleich der jeweiligen Schutzgebiete und -objekte aller Schutzgebietskategorien statt; ein Resultat ist die vorliegende Schutzgebietsstatistik des Landes. Angaben zur Anzahl und zu den Flächen der Gebiete und Objekte sind zusammengefasst
