calc_m_single_1dftest: Calculate cluster size for a cluster-randomized trial with co-primary endpoints using the single 1-DF combined test approach.

Description

Allows user to calculate the cluster size of a cluster-randomized trial with two co-primary endpoints given a set of study design input values, including the number of clusters in each trial arm, and statistical power. Uses the single 1-DF combined test approach for clustered data and two outcomes.

Usage

calc_m_single_1dftest(
  dist = "Chi2",
  power,
  K,
  alpha = 0.05,
  beta1,
  beta2,
  varY1,
  varY2,
  rho01,
  rho02,
  rho1,
  rho2,
  r = 1
)

Value

A numerical value.

Arguments

dist

Specification of which distribution to base calculation on, either 'Chi2' for Chi-Squared or 'F' for F-Distribution.

power

Desired statistical power in decimal form; numeric.

K

Number of clusters in treatment arm, and control arm under equal allocation; numeric.

alpha

Type I error rate; numeric.

beta1

Effect size for the first outcome; numeric.

beta2

Effect size for the second outcome; numeric.

varY1

Total variance for the first outcome; numeric.

varY2

Total variance for the second outcome; numeric.

rho01

Correlation of the first outcome for two different individuals in the same cluster; numeric.

rho02

Correlation of the second outcome for two different individuals in the same cluster; numeric.

rho1

Correlation between the first and second outcomes for two individuals in the same cluster; numeric.

rho2

Correlation between the first and second outcomes for the same individual; numeric.

r

Treatment allocation ratio - K2 = rK1 where K1 is number of clusters in experimental group; numeric.

Examples

calc_m_single_1dftest(power = 0.8, K = 15, alpha = 0.05,
beta1 = 0.1, beta2 = 0.1, varY1 = 0.23, varY2 = 0.25,
rho01 = 0.025, rho02 = 0.025, rho1 = 0.01, rho2  = 0.05)
