A class for simulation results means in enrichment designs.

Details

Use getSimulationEnrichmentMeans() to create an object of this type.

Fields

adaptations

Indicates whether or not an adaptation takes place at interim k. Is a logical vector of length kMax minus 1.

allocationRatioPlanned

The planned allocation ratio (n1 / n2) for the groups. For multi-arm designs, it is the allocation ratio relating the active arm(s) to the control. Is a single positive numeric value.

calcSubjectsFunction

An optional function that can be entered to define how sample size is recalculated. By default, recalculation is performed with conditional power with specified minNumberOfSubjectsPerStage and maxNumberOfSubjectsPerStage.

conditionalPower

The conditional power at each stage of the trial. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

conditionalPowerAchieved

The calculated conditional power, under the assumption of observed or assumed effect sizes. Is a numeric matrix.

earlyStop

The probability to stopping the trial either for efficacy or futility. Is a numeric vector.

effectList

The list of subsets, prevalences and effect sizes with columns and number of rows reflecting the different situations to be considered.

effectMeasure

Criterion for treatment arm/population selection, either based on test statistic ("testStatistic") or effect estimate ("effectEstimate"). Is a single character value.

epsilonValue

Needs to be specified if typeOfSelection = "epsilon". Is a single numeric value.

expectedNumberOfSubjects

The expected number of subjects under specified alternative.

futilityPerStage

The per-stage probabilities of stopping the trial for futility. Is a numeric matrix.

futilityStop

In simulation results data set: indicates whether trial is stopped for futility or not.

intersectionTest

The multiple test used for intersection hypotheses in closed systems of hypotheses. Is a single character value.

iterations

The number of iterations used for simulations. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

maxNumberOfIterations

The number of simulation iterations. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

maxNumberOfSubjectsPerStage

Determines the maximum number of subjects per stage for data-driven sample size recalculation. For two treatment arms, is the number of subjects for both treatment arms. For multi-arm designs, is the minimum number of subjects per selected active arm. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

minNumberOfSubjectsPerStage

Determines the minimum number of subjects per stage for data-driven sample size recalculation. For two treatment arms, is the number of subjects for both treatment arms. For multi-arm designs, is the minimum number of subjects per selected active arm. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

numberOfPopulations

The number of populations in an enrichment design. Is a numeric matrix.

plannedSubjects

Determines the number of cumulated (overall) subjects when the interim stages are planned. For two treatment arms, is the number of subjects for both treatment arms. For multi-arm designs, refers to the number of subjects per selected active arm. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

populations

The number of populations in an enrichment design. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

rejectAtLeastOne

The probability to reject at least one of the (multiple) hypotheses. Is a numeric vector.

rejectedPopulationsPerStage

The simulated number of rejected populations per stage.

rValue

Needs to be specified if typeOfSelection = "rBest". Is a single numeric value.

sampleSizes

The sample sizes for each group and stage. Is a numeric vector of length number of stages times number of groups containing whole numbers.

seed

The seed used for random number generation. Is a single numeric value.

selectedPopulations

The selected populations in enrichment designs.

selectPopulationsFunction

An optional function that can be entered to define the way of how populations are selected.

stDev

The standard deviation used for sample size and power calculation. Is a single numeric value.

stDevH1

The standard deviation under which the conditional power or sample size recalculation is performed. Is a single numeric value.

stratifiedAnalysis

For enrichment designs, typically a stratified analysis should be chosen. When testing means and rates, a non-stratified analysis can be performed on overall data. For survival data, only a stratified analysis is possible. Is a single logical value.

successCriterion

Defines when the study is stopped for efficacy at interim. "all" stops the trial if the efficacy criterion has been fulfilled for all selected treatment arms/populations, "atLeastOne" stops if at least one of the selected treatment arms/populations is shown to be superior to control at interim. Is a single character value.

successPerStage

The simulated success probabilities per stage where success is defined by user. Is a numeric matrix.

thetaH1

The assumed effect under the alternative hypothesis. For survival designs, refers to the hazard ratio. Is a numeric vector.

threshold

The selection criterion: treatment arm/population is only selected if effectMeasure exceeds threshold. Either a single numeric value or a numeric vector of length activeArms referring to a separate threshold condition for each treatment arm.

typeOfSelection

The way the treatment arms or populations are selected at interim. Is a single character value.
