findLoss {curtailment}R Documentation

Find loss scores for a set of single-arm designs

Description

This function finds loss scores for single-arm designs, in particular, designs found using the function singlearmdesigns(). Weights w0 and w1 are chosen, and the loss for each design is found using the equation loss = w0\*ESS(0) + w1\*ESS(1) + (1-w0-w1)\*N

Usage

findLoss(main.output, w0, w1)

Arguments

main.output

Output from function singlearmDesigns().

w0

Choice of weight on ESS(0)

w1

Choice of weight on ESS(0)

Value

Output is a list identical to the output from function singlearmDesigns(), but with absolute and ranked loss scores added.
