The adoptr package provides functionality to explore custom optimal two-stage designs for one- or two-arm superiority tests. More than two arms can be compared via chi-squared tests or ANOVA. For more details on the theoretical background see <doi:10.1002/sim.8291> and <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i09>. adoptr makes heavy use of the S4 class system. A good place to start learning about it can be found here.
For a sample workflow and a quick demo of the capabilities, see here.
A more detailed description of the background and the usage of adoptr can be found here or here <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i09> .
A variety of examples is presented in the validation report hosted here.
adoptr currently supports TwoStageDesign
,
GroupSequentialDesign-class
, and OneStageDesign-class
.
The implemented data distributions are Normal
, Binomial
,
Student
, Survival
, ChiSquared
(including
Pearson2xK
and ZSquared
) and ANOVA
.
Both ContinuousPrior
and PointMassPrior
are
supported for the single parameter of a DataDistribution
.
