A class for simulation results means in enrichment designs.

Details

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

Fields

maxNumberOfIterations

The number of simulation iterations. Is a numeric vector of length 1 containing a whole number.

seed

The seed used for random number generation. Is a numeric vector of length 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 positive numeric vector of length 1.

conditionalPower

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

iterations

The number of iterations used for simulations. Is a numeric vector of length 1 containing a whole number.

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.

stDev

The standard deviation used for sample size and power calculation. Is a numeric vector of length 1.

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.

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.

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.

thetaH1

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

stDevH1

The standard deviation under which the conditional power or sample size recalculation is performed. Is a numeric vector of length 1.

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.

expectedNumberOfSubjects

The expected number of subjects under specified alternative.

populations

The number of populations in an enrichment design. Is a numeric vector of length 1 containing a whole number.

effectList

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

intersectionTest

The multiple test used for intersection hypotheses in closed systems of hypotheses. Is a character vector of length 1.

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 logical vector of length 1.

adaptations

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

typeOfSelection

The way the treatment arms or populations are selected at interim. Is a character vector of length 1.

effectMeasure

Criterion for treatment arm/population selection, either based on test statistic ("testStatistic") or effect estimate ("effectEstimate"). Is a character vector of length 1.

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 character vector of length 1.

epsilonValue

Needs to be specified if typeOfSelection = "epsilon". Is a numeric vector of length 1.

rValue

Needs to be specified if typeOfSelection = "rBest". Is a numeric vector of length 1.

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.

selectPopulationsFunction

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

earlyStop

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

selectedPopulations

The selected populations in enrichment designs.

numberOfPopulations

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

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.

successPerStage

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

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.

conditionalPowerAchieved

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