Details

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

SimulationResultsSurvival is the basic class for

Fields

accrualIntensity

The absolute accrual intensities. Is a numeric vector of length kMax.

accrualTime

The assumed accrual time intervals for the study. Is a numeric vector.

allocation1

The number of subjects to be assigned to treatment 1 in subsequent order. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

allocation2

The number of subjects to be assigned to treatment 2 in subsequent order. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

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.

calcEventsFunction

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

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.

cumulativeEventsPerStage

The cumulative number of events per stage. Is a numeric matrix.

directionUpper

Specifies the direction of the alternative, only applicable for one-sided testing. Default is TRUE which means that larger values of the test statistics yield smaller p-values. Is a single logical value.

dropoutRate1

The assumed drop-out rate in the treatment group. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

dropoutRate2

The assumed drop-out rate in the control group. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

dropoutTime

The assumed time for drop-out rates in the control and treatment group. Is a single numeric value.

earlyStop

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

eventsNotAchieved

The simulated number of cases how often the number of events was not reached. Is a numeric matrix.

eventTime

The assumed time under which the event rates are calculated. Is a single numeric value.

expectedNumberOfEvents

The expected number of events under specified alternative. Is a numeric vector.

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.

hazardRatio

The hazard ratios under consideration. Is a numeric vector of length kMax.

iterations

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

kappa

The shape of the Weibull distribution if kappa!=1. Is a single numeric value.

maxNumberOfEventsPerStage

Determines the maximum number of events per stage for data-driven sample size recalculation. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

maxNumberOfIterations

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

maxNumberOfSubjects

The maximum number of subjects for power calculations. Is a numeric vector.

median1

The assumed median survival time in the treatment group. Is a numeric vector.

median2

The assumed median survival time in the reference group. Is a single numeric value.

minNumberOfEventsPerStage

Determines the minimum number of events per stage for data-driven sample size recalculation. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

numberOfSubjects

In simulation results data set: The number of subjects under consideration when the interim analysis takes place.

numberOfSubjects1

In simulation results data set: The number of subjects under consideration in treatment arm 1 when the interim analysis takes place.

numberOfSubjects2

In simulation results data set: The number of subjects under consideration in treatment arm 2 when the interim analysis takes place.

overallReject

The overall rejection probability. Is a numeric vector.

pi1

The assumed event rate in the treatment group. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing values between 0 and 1.

pi2

The assumed event rate in the control group. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

piecewiseSurvivalTime

The time intervals for the piecewise definition of the exponential survival time cumulative distribution function. Is a numeric vector.

plannedEvents

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

rejectPerStage

The probability to reject a hypothesis per stage of the trial. Is a numeric matrix.

seed

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

singleEventsPerStage

The single number of events per stage. Is a numeric matrix.

studyDuration

The study duration for specified effect size. Is a positive numeric vector.

thetaH0

The difference or assumed effect under H0. Is a single numeric value.

thetaH1

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