psbTeXtable {gsrsb}

Summarize Primary and Refined Secondary Boundaries in a TeX table

Description

Primary boundaries and refined secondary boundaries are listed in a TeX table.

Usage

psbTeXtable(
  alpha,
  tVec,
  pOBF = TRUE,
  sOBF = FALSE,
  LanDeMets = FALSE,
  digits = 2
)

Arguments

alpha

type I error probability.

tVec

vector of relative information levels. The last element in the vector is 1.

pOBF

type of primary boundary, TURE is the O'Brien-Fleming boundary, FALSE is the Pocock boundary.

sOBF

type of secondary boundary, TURE is the O'Brien-Fleming boundary, FALSE is the Pocock boundary.

LanDeMets

type of boundary, TRUE is the error spending approach, FALSE is the original approach.

digits

number of digits after decimal point to display in the table.

Details

This function gives a TeX format table including both primary boundary and refined secondary boundary. The number of digits after decimal point can be specified through parameter digits.

Value

a TeX format table including both primary boundary and refined secondary boundary.
