compoundEvtInnovDist-class {optimalThreshold}

An S4 class to represent a compound distribution.

Description

This S4 class describes the 'compound' distribution that is fitted to the marker values of patients that developed the event of interest in the innovative treatment arm when the type of distribution is set to 'undefined' in the fit function.

Details

You never have to create this class manually. This class is created internally when an undefined distribution is fitted on the marker values.
