SSR.boundary: Calculate the futility and efficacy stopping boundaries for Sample Size
Re-estimation Procedure based on the conditional error function
Description
The SSD.boundary() is used to calculate the futility
and efficacy stopping boundaries, meanwhile protect the overall Type I
error rate at the pre-specified level.
Usage
SSR.boundary(alpha, pstar)
Arguments
alpha
The overall Type I error rate
pstar
The (1 - power) of accepting the null hypothesis at the
interim analysis.
Value
A list contain
upper.boundary The efficacy stopping boundary at the interim analysis
lower.boundary The futility stopping boundary at the interim analysis
