Nonparametric step-down test procedures for finding minimum effective dose.

abstract：:A randomized, active-control clinical trial setting with the objective of testing noninferiority for a continuous response variable is considered. Noninferiority margin is based on the concept of preserving a certain fraction of the active control effect. Noninferiority is established if the ratio of the lower (upper)...
