smartSST {smartDesign}

Single Sequential Trial design clinical trial calculations

Description

Single Sequential Trial design clinical trial calculations

Usage

smartSST(mu_Barm=c(G1=30, G0=20), sigsq_Barm=c(G1=100, G0=100),
                     nsubject=500,
                     Barm=1, type="continuous",
                     sens=seq(0.5,1, by=0.1), spec=seq(0.5, 1, by=0.1),
                     pG_A1 = 0.8, pG_A2=0.8, pran_A1 = 0.5, pran_Barm = 0.5)

Arguments

mu_Barm

named vector of the means for the Barm for the smart SST trial, with names 'G1' and 'G0'

sigsq_Barm

named vector of the variances (sigma-squared) for the Barm for the smart SST trial, with names 'G1' and 'G0'

nsubject

total sample size for the trial

Barm

for the second phase of the trial, the 'B' level for which the means/variances apply

type

trial response variable type; only continuous is implemented currently

sens

range of sensitivity for smart SST calculations; (0,1]

spec

range of specificity for smart SST calculations; (0,1]

pG_A1

probability of response to therapy given assignment to A1

pG_A2

probability of response to therapy given assignment to A2

pran_A1

probability of random assignment to A1

pran_Barm

probability of assignment to Barm

Value

An object of the smartSST S3 class, with the following elements:

sstdat:

data.frame with sens, spec, mu, sigsq and sample size (n)

mu_Barm:

The value of mu_Barm passed to the function

sigsq_Barm:
