Bayesian methods for cluster randomized trials extend the random-effects formulation by allowing both the use of external evidence on parameters and straightforward relaxation of the standard normality and constant variance assumptions. Care is required in specifying prior distributions on variance

Analytical techniques appropriate for cluster randomized trials that utilize a repeated cross-sectional design have not been extensively evaluated. This paper compares methods that can be used to evaluate the impact of an intervention on dichotomous outcomes. The methods are applied to data from a s
## Abstract Health care utilization and outcome studies call for hierarchical approaches. The objectives were to predict major complications following percutaneous coronary interventions by health providers, and to compare Bayesian and nonβBayesian sample size calculation methods. The hierarchical
## Abstract The aim of this contribution is to give an overview of approaches to testing for nonβinferiority of one out of two binomial distributions as compared to the other in settings involving independent samples (the paired samples case is not considered here but the major conclusions and reco
