summary.emaxsim {clinDR}

Summary of output of emaxsim

Description

Detailed summary of repeated sampling properties of Emax estimation and comparison with simple pairwise comparisons.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'emaxsim'
summary(object, testalpha = 0.05, clev = 0.9, 
                          seSim = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object

Output of emaxsim

testalpha

Alpha level for a one-sided MCP-MOD trend test

clev

Nominal confidence level for reported CIs

seSim

If TRUE, then simulation standard errors are reported in parentheses. These should be distinguished from standard errors for estimators in the simulation.

...

Other unspecified parameters (none currently utilized)

Details

For pairwise comparisons, the 'most favorable pairwise comparison' means the dose with the best difference versus placebo is compared to the population mean response for the selected dose, thus the target value for coverage, bias, and RMSE changes depending on the selected dose.

Value

The function produces annotated output summarizing the properties of the estimation procedures. The summaries are also returned as an invisible list for extracting results.
