Dose.Response.time.to.event {TrialSize}

Linear Contrast Test for Time-to-Event Endpoint in dose response study

Description

Under the exponential survival model, let lambdai be the proportion hazard rate for group i.

\sum ci = 0.

Ho: L(\mu) = \sum ci \times \lambda_i =0

Ha: L(p) = \sum ci \times \lambda_i = \epsilon > 0

Usage

Dose.Response.time.to.event(alpha, beta, T0, T, Ti, ci, fi)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

T0

T0 is the accrual time period

T

T is the total trial duration

Ti

\lambda_i=log(2)/Ti, Ti is the estimated median time for each group.

ci

a linear contrast coefficients ci with sum(ci)=0.

fi

fi=ni/n is the sample size fraction for the ith group
