QT.crossover {TrialSize}

Crossover Design in QT/QTc Studies without covariates

Description

Ho: \mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0

Ha: \mu_1 -\mu_2 = d

The test is finding the treatment difference in QT interval for crossover design . d is not equal to 0, which is the difference of clinically importance.

Usage

QT.crossover(alpha, beta, pho, K, delta, gamma)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

pho

pho=between subject variance \sigma^{2}_{s}/(between subject variance \sigma^2_s+within subject variance \sigma^2_e)

K

There are K recording replicates for each subject.

delta

\sigma^2=\sigma^2_s+\sigma^2_e. d is the difference of clinically importance. \delta = d/\sigma

gamma

\sigma^2_p is the extra variance from the random period effect for the crossover design. \gamma=\sigma^2_p/\sigma^2
