Dose.Response.Linear: Linear Contrast Test for Dose Response Study

Description

For a multi-arm dose response design, we use a linear contrast coefficients ci with $\sum ci=0$.

H0: L(mu)=$\sum ci\times {\mu }_i=0$

Ha: L(mu)=$\sum ci\times {\mu }_i=ϵ$, not equal to 0

Usage

Dose.Response.Linear(alpha, beta, sigma, mui, ci, fi)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

sigma

standard deviation for the population

mui

mui is the population mean for group i.

ci

a linear contrast coefficients ci with $\sum ci=0$.

fi

fi=ni/n is the sample size fraction for the ith group
