The design team, based in Rio de Janiero, transformed each of the winners' designs into professional sketches, bearing all the hallmarks of pre-production prototypes.
Designers submit their work through a Facebook app where potential customers then vote and pre-order, and the winners' designs are commissioned and delivered with CrowdJewel taking 30% cut.
Another winner, Design Seoul, addresses the problems of an entire city.
An example of a response adaptive design that has received much attention in recent years is the randomized play the winner design (RPWD).
This paper develops a unified method to compute the exact statistical power for a general class of response adaptive designs including the randomized play-the-winner design, the drop-the-loser design, and the doubly biased coin design.
In drug development, a two-stage winner design (Lan et al. 2005, Shun et al. 2008) can be cost-effective when the best treatment is to be determined from multiple experimental treatments in superiority trials.
However, the statistical methods assessing non-inferiority in a two-stage winner design have not yet been studied, for which the complexity arises in determining the critical value when parameter space is not a single point under the null hypothesis.
In this paper, we provided rigorous justifications to determine the critical value for testing non-inferiority hypothesis, with a pre-specified non-inferiority margin, in a two-stage winner design with two experimental treatments and an active control.
In order to test the best performing radiation dose with a convenient chemotherapy schedule of an oral formulation of radio-sensitizing vinorelbine in inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we performed a randomized phase II trial based on a "pick the winner" design.
Shigeru Ban, last year's Japanese winner, designs paper-tube structures that can be quickly erected to house disaster victims.
