摘要

In most of clinical trials, a heterogeneous treatment effect exists among patient individuals. This prompts identifying a patient subpopulation that has a stronger treatment effect than the rest of patients, which in turn, will help researchers to determine who will benefit the most or the least from the treatment and design treatment strategies accordingly. Therefore, identifying such a subpopulation is a challenging task for researchers. In this paper attempts are made to develop a nonparametric variable selection method for predicting clinical response and identifying subpopulations. The proposed method first selects predictors using kernel-based local regression and a forward procedure via F-tests and then defines subpopulations with enhanced treatment effects based on the selected predictors and the nonparametric model of the clinical response. In order to demonstrate the working of the proposed methods and to compare the same with other existing methods, both simulation and real time clinical examples are considered. The proposed method provides an alternative way to define subpopulations and is not limited by parametric models and their possible misspecification for the clinical response. (22 refs.)
