QT.PK.parallel: Parallel Group Design in QT/QTc Studies with PK response as covariate

Description

Ho: \(\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0 \)

Ha: \(\mu_1 -\mu_2 = d \)

The test is finding the treatment difference in QT interval. d is not equal to 0, which is the difference of clinically importance.

Usage

QT.PK.parallel(alpha, beta, pho, K, delta, v1, v2, tau1, tau2)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

pho

pho=between subject variance \(\sigma^{2}_{s}\)/(between subject variance \(\sigma^2_s\)+within subject variance \(\sigma^2_e\))

K

There are K recording replicates for each subject.

delta

\(\sigma^2=\sigma^2_s+\sigma^2_e\). d is the difference of clinically importance. \(\delta = d/\sigma \)

v1

sample mean for group 1

v2

sample mean for group 2

tau1

sample variance for group 1

tau2

sample variance for group 2
