Calculates Optimal and Minimax 2-stage Phase II designs given by Richard Simon

# S3 method for ph2simon

unacceptable response rate
response rate that is desirable
threshold for the probability of declaring drug desirable under p0
threshold for the probability of rejecting the drug under p1
maximum total sample size (default 100; can be at most 500)
object returned by ph2simon
arguments to be passed onto plot and print commands called within
ph2simon returns a list with pu, pa, alpha, beta and nmax as above and:
matrix of best 2 stage designs for each value of total sample size n. the 6 columns are: r1, n1, r, n, EN(p0), PET(p0)
Trial is stopped early if <= r1 responses are seen in the first stage and treatment is considered desirable only when >r responses seen.
The "print" method formats and returns the minimax and optimal designs. The "plot" plots the expected sample size agains the maximum sample size as in Jung et al., 2001
