Abstract
Strategies are investigated for selecting one of two medical treatments when patients may be stratified into two distinct categories on the basis of their expected difference in response to the two treatments. The relative effectiveness of the following three strategies are assessed: (1) separate decisions made independently for the two categories, (2) a single overall decision made on the basis of simple pooling, and (3) the Bayes strategy.Keywords
