6.4 Analysis Examples Using Simulated Data

6.4.1 Brief Introduction to the Emax Model

This section describes two simulated practical examples for continuous and binary endpoints. The simulated data assume that there are 5 dose groups, 0mg (placebo), 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, in a phase II dose ranging trial. The sample size in each dose group is 60. The nlmixed procedure is used to fit 4-parameter e sub mehx of end sub models to analyze the data. Note that proc nlin in SAS could be used to fit the 4-parameter model as well, which is dedicated to the nonlinear regression model. Both procedures produce very similar estimates and results. In addition, code for trend ...
