Examples

# Simulate the 90%, 95% and 99% quantiles of the LR contrast tests where the specified 
# models are competing against each other.
# The size of each dose group is equal in this case.

qLRcontrast(dose = c(0, 0.05, 0.2, 0.6, 1), probs = c(0.9, 0.95, 0.99), weight 
            = c(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2), models = c("linear", "emax", 
            "exponential", "linlog"), nsim = 10)

# Calculate the LR test statistics with the same underlying models.
# In this case the data is generated by the constant model, i.e. the 
# null hypothesis of no dose response is true.

resp <- rnorm(n = 50, mean = 0.2)
dose <- c(rep(0, 10), rep(0.05, 10), rep(0.2, 10), rep(0.6, 10), rep(1, 10))

sLRcontrast(dose = dose, resp = resp, models = c("linear", "emax", "exponential", "linlog"))
			 
# Calculate the p-values in this scenario
			 
pLRcontrast(dose = dose, resp = resp, models = c("linear", "emax", "exponential", "linlog"), 
            nsim = 10)
