sample.space {CLAST} R Documentation

## Sample space enumeration (K>2)

### Description

Creates all possible samples from a multi-stage group sequential trial with K>2. If K=2, use the function sample.space.2 instead.

### Usage

sample.space(n, a, b)


### Arguments

 n Design vector of planned sample sizes a Design vector of lower futility boundaries b Design vector of upper superiority boundaries

### Value

list with components $Y,$M, $S,$decision and \$design

### Examples

n=c(5,6,5,9)
a=c(2,4,5,12)
b=c(5,9,11,13)
# There are 364 possible outcomes from this design which are
# listed in a natural systematic order by function sample.space.
all.samples=sample.space(n,a,b)
attributes(all.samples)
# Y contains the 364 possible sequential binary outcomes;
# M contains how many stages before the decision;
# S contains the total number of success that produces the decision;
# decision the final binary test result of H0 or H1.
