select_mtd_gBOIN_TB: Select the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined by Toxicity Burden (TB) Score for single agent trials using gBOIN design

Description

Select the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined by the toxicity burden (BT) score proposed by Bekele et al. (2004) when the trial is completed using the generalized Bayesian optimal interval (gBOIN) design (Mu et al. 2017). The algorithm of this function is exactly same to the Select_mtd_gBOIN.Continuous() just the input parameter is used by the TB score

Usage

select_mtd_gBOIN_TB(target, npts, ntox)

Value

select_mtd_gBOIN_TB() returns the selected dose

Arguments

target

the continuous target score

npts

the number of patients enrolled at each dose level

ntox

the toxicity score at each dose level
