msabe: Run the mixed scaling approach in bioequivalence (BE) studies

Description

This function runs hypothesis testing for bioequivalence using the mixed criterion

Usage

msabe(Test, Reference, params = list())

Value

A list of lists

• parameters - A list of true parameter settings.

• fout - The test result and related estimators.

• runtime - The total elapsed time charged for the execution of the program.

Arguments

Test

An n-by-r matrix of test product data. n is the number of donors and r is the number of skin section replicates.

Reference

An n-by-r matrix of reference product data.

params

(Optional) The list of tuning parameters for running the test.

• sigma_W0 - A regulatory constant set by the FDA. Defaults to 0.25.

• m - Another regulatory constant that determines the bounds within which the estimated GMR should fall for bioequivalence to be established. Defaults to 1.25, representing 80-125% average BE limits, which is the FDA recommendation.

• sig_level - The significance level (alpha-level).
