PBE {TrialSize}

Population Bioequivalence

Description

Consider 2 by 2 crossover design.

H0: lamda >= 0

Ha: lamda < 0

Usage

PBE(alpha, beta, sigma1.1, sigmatt, sigmatr, sigmabt, sigmabr, rho, a, delta, lamda)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

sigma1.1

\sigma_{a.b}^2=\sigma_{D}^2+a\sigma_{WT}^2+b\sigma_{WR}^2. Here a=b=1.

sigmatt

\sigma_{tt}^2=\sigma_{BT}^2+\sigma_{WT}^2, \sigma_{wt}^2 is the within-subjects variance in test formulation

sigmatr

\sigma_{tr}^2=\sigma_{BR}^2+\sigma_{WR}^2, \sigma_{wr}^2 is the within-subjects variance in reference formulation

sigmabt

\sigma_{bt}^2 is the between-subjects variance in test formulation

sigmabr

\sigma_{br}^2 is the between-subjects variance in reference formulation

rho

rho is the inter-subject correlation coefficient.

a

a= thetaPBE =1.74

delta

delta is the mean difference of AUC

lamda

lamda=delta^{2}+\sigma^2-\sigma_{TR}^2-thetaPBE*max(\sigma_{0}^2,\sigma_{TR}^2)
