OncoBayes2

Description

Bayesian logistic regression model with optional EXchangeability-NonEXchangeability parameter modelling for flexible borrowing from historical or concurrent data-sources. The safety model can guide dose-escalation decisions for adaptive Oncology phase I dose-escalation trials which involve an arbitrary number of drugs.

Global Options
