## Abstract In clinical trials with an active control usually therapeutical equivalence of a new treatment is investigated by looking at a location parameter of the distributions of the primary efficacy variable. But even if the location parameters are close to each other existing differences in va

## Abstract The problem of testing treatment difference in the occurrence of a safety parameter in a randomized parallel‐group comparative clinical trial under the assumption that the number of occurrence follows a zero‐inflated Poisson (ZIP) distribution is considered. Likelihood ratio tests (LRT)
This paper focuses on the classical problem of comparison of treatment effects. We show that we can base a simple and intuitive approach to comparison of two treatments on the proportion of similar responses. This approach is equivalent to the standard comparison of the treatment means in the normal
