sim3p3: Simulation of one dose-escalation study with the classical 3+3 design

Description

Given a true rates vector of DLT probabilities, the function simulate a 3+3 dose-escalation design.

Usage

sim3p3(truerate, seed = NULL)

Arguments

truerate

A nlevel-length vector of true rates for the DLTs.

seed

If not empty, the seed to use for random generation.

Value

data

Study data.

mtd

If reached, an integer representing the MTD level.

lastdose

An integer representing the last experimented dose.
