Calculate Primary Boundaries, the Error Spending Approach

Description

Primary boundaries calculation of Lan-DeMets OBF and POC.

Usage

ldPrimaryBoundary(tVec, alpha, type = 1, initIntvl = c(0.8, 8))

Arguments

`tVec`	a vector of information, gammaVec = sqrt(tVec).
`alpha`	significance level
`type`	type of sequential procedure. OBF is 1, POC is 2.
`initIntvl`	paramter for function uniroot (two numbers)

Value

a vector of primary boundaries.
