Another new paper alert. We just published a paper giving a likelihood-based implementation of the Daniels & Hughes bivariate meta-analysis model for surrogate endpoint evaluations (e.g., using progression-free survival as a surrogate for overall survival): https://doi.org/10.1002/bimj.70048
We propose a bias-adjusted MLE for the variance component of the model, present simulation results, and illustrate the method with a few case studies.
