Table 8.1 Clinical Trial Data for Problem 1 a. Perform two different tests (Breslow-Day, and likelihood ratio test) for whether the drug effect on curing an infection is the same over eight centers. i) Breslow-Day test: The B-D test of homogeneity tests for whether the drug effect on curing an infection

In order to explore the efficacy of VRET we investigate its effect on reducing symptoms of PTSD and compare it to prolonged exposure. Prolonged exposure (PE) is considered a gold standard in PTSD treatment due to the significant evidence supporting its efficacy (Rothbaum, Hodges, Ready, Graap, Alarcon, 2001; Powers et al., 2010). So far there have been seven studies comparing the effects of VRET to PE in treating PTSD. The control group in these studies involvs traditional PE in which patients re-experience
