PRIMEplus.Power {PRIMEplus}R Documentation

Power

Description

Compute the power using LRT Re-randomization test

Usage

 
PRIMEplus.Power(nmax=500, rand_ratio=0.5, effect_p=0.6, 
    enroll_rate=380*0.25/6, lambda1=0.117, HR=0.5, tau=12*5, t1=1, 
    maxiter=100000, stopTol=1e-4, alpha=0.05, num_rand=1000, nsim=10000, 
    print=0, min.sample.size=50, min.n.event=5, min.per.trt=0.25)

Arguments

nmax

Sample size

rand_ratio

Probability of assignment to treatment arm

effect_p

Vector for proportion of responders in the treatment arm at baseline (see details)

enroll_rate

Enrollment rate in subjects per month

lambda1

Baseline hazard in terms of months

HR

Vector of hazard ratios for responders against controls (see details)

tau

Total study duration

t1

Delayed duration in months

maxiter

Maximum number of iterations in the EM algorithm. The default is 100000.

stopTol

Stopping tolerance in the EM algorithm. The default is 1e-4.

alpha

Significance level. The default is 0.05.

num_rand

The number of replications in the re-randomization test. The default is 1000.

nsim

The number of simulations. The default is 1000.

print

0 or 1 to print information. The default is 0.

min.sample.size

Minimum sample size. The default is 50.

min.n.event

Minimum number of events. The default is 5.

min.per.trt

Minimum proportion of controls and treated subjects. The default is 0.25.

Details

The length and order of effect_p must be the same as HR. Both of these vectors should contain information only for the groups of responders. For example, if there are full responders and partial responders, then effect_p and HR would be vectors of length two.

For each simulation, a simulated data set is created from the generate_data function and then an estimated p-value is computed by calling PRIMEplus.ReRand.LRT. The power is calculated as the proportion of iterations whose estimated p-value was less than or equal to alpha.

Value

A list containing the power and the number of simulated datasets used in the calculation.
