Abstract

In this article, different types of mixed effect models have been applied for drug effect comparison in type 2 diabetes patients. The mixed effect models have been applied through Bayesian approach and compared with frequency approach. The combination of metformin with pioglitazone is found to be effective compared to pioglitazone with gliclazide.
