TwoSampleCrossOver.NIS {TrialSize}

Two Sample Crossover Design Test for Non-Inferiority/Superiority

Description

Ho: |margin| \ge delta Ha: |margin| < delta

if delta >0, the rejection of Null Hypothesis indicates the superiority of the test over the control;

if delta <0, the rejection of the null hypothesis implies the non-inferiority of the test against the control.

Usage

TwoSampleCrossOver.NIS(alpha, beta, sigma, delta, margin)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

sigma

standard deviation in crossover design

delta

the superiority or non-inferiority margin

margin

margin=\mu_2-\mu_1

the true mean difference between a test mu2 and a control mu1
