EffFlexi: Initialization function for the "EffFlexi" class

Description

Initialization function for the "EffFlexi" class

Usage

EffFlexi(Eff, Effdose, sigma2, sigma2betaW, smooth = c("RW1", "RW2"),
  data)

Arguments

Eff

the pseudo efficacy responses

Effdose

the corresponding dose levels for the pseudo efficacy responses

sigma2

the prior variance of the efficacy responses which can be specified with a single positive scalar or with two positive scalar values fot the shape a and the rate b parameters of the inverse gamma distribtuion.

sigma2betaW

the prior variance of the random walk model used for smoothing which can be specified with a single postive scalar or with two positive scalars representing the shape a and the rate b parameter of the inverse gamma distribution.

smooth

used for smoothing data for this efficacy model. That is either the "RW1", the first-order random walk model or "RW2", the second-order random walk model is used of the mean efficacy responses.

data

the input data to update estimates of model parameters and follow the '>DataDual object class specification

Value

the '>EffFlexi class object
