New features
- For the functions
getSimulationMultiArmMeans()
,getSimulationMultiArmRates()
, andgetSimulationMultiArmSurvival()
it is now possible to specify a parameterdoseLevels
to define the dose levels for alinear
orsigmoidEmax
dose-response relationship (see feature request #63) - Added support for unequal variances between two groups in
getSampleSizeMeans()
,getPowerMeans()
, andgetSimulationMeans()
functions, see enhancement #70 testPackage()
produces a comprehensive installation qualification report in html and pdf format (see new vignette Installation Qualification of rpact)setupPackageTests()
sets up the package tests by downloading the test files and copying them to the rpact installation directorysaveOptions()
saves the currentrpact
options to a configuration fileresetOptions()
resets therpact
options to their default values- Argument
conservative
added togetSampleSizeRates()
function, see enhancement #39 - Enable futility boundaries in Boundaries p Values Scale plot plot (type = 3) using
options("rpact.plot.show.futility.on.pvalue.scale" = TRUE)
or argumentshowFutilityBounds = TRUE
, see enhancement #79 - Enable beta-spending in Error Spending plot (type = 4) using
options("rpact.plot.show.beta.spent" = TRUE)
or argumentshowBetaSpent = TRUE
, see enhancement #80. Furthermore,options("rpact.plot.show.alpha.spent" = FALSE)
or argumentshowAlphaSpent = FALSE
can be used to show only beta-spending in the plot
Improvements, issues, and changes
- Issue for calculation of confidence intervals when using the conditional Dunnett test design
(getDesignConditionalDunnett()
) in analysis tool is fixed. - The full set of unit tests for rpact is now stored in a private repository.
Only members of the 'RPACT User Group' have access to the tests.
