Adaptive Designs for Sequential Treatment Allocation

Alessandro Baldi Antognini is a full professor of statistics at the University of Bologna. His main research interests include optimal design theory, sequential methods, and applied probability with applications to industrial experiments and biostatistics.Alessandra Giovagnoli, now retired, was a full professor in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Bologna. Her main research area is the design of experiments, particularly sequential experiments. She is also interested in stochastic order relations and biomedical and technological applications of statistics. She served on the editorial board of Biometrika and was associate editor of SMA, the journal of the Italian Statistical Society. She is on the board of Model-Oriented Data Analysis and Optimum Design (MODA), an international statistical association that promotes research in the area of experimental designs.
