Details

Displays a summary of the bdpbinomial fit including the input data, the stochastic comparison between current and historical data, and the resulting historical data weight (alpha). If historical data is missing then no stochastic comparison nor weight are displayed.

In the case of a one-arm analysis, the displayed 95 percent CI contains the lower and upper limits of the augmented event rate of the current data. The displayed sample estimate is the event rate of the current data augmented by the historical data.

When a control arm is present, a two-arm analysis is carried out. Now, the displayed 95 percent CI contains the lower and upper limits of the difference between the treatment and control arms with the historical data augmented to current data, if present. The displayed sample estimates are the event rates of the treatment and control arms, each of which are augmented when historical data are present.
