gsDesignNB (version 0.2.6)

check_gs_bound: Check group sequential bounds

Description

Updates the group sequential design boundaries based on observed information and checks if boundaries have been crossed.

Usage

check_gs_bound(sim_results, design, info_scale = c("blinded", "unblinded"))

Value

A data frame with added columns:

cross_upper

Logical, true if upper bound crossed (efficacy)

cross_lower

Logical, true if lower bound crossed (futility)

Arguments

sim_results

Data frame of simulation results (from sim_gs_nbinom()).

design

The planning gsNB object.

info_scale

Character. "blinded" (default) or "unblinded" information to use for bounds.

Examples

design <- gsDesign::gsDesign(k = 2, n.fix = 100, test.type = 2, timing = c(0.5, 1))
sim_df <- data.frame(
  sim = c(1, 1, 2, 2),
  analysis = c(1, 2, 1, 2),
  z_stat = c(2.5, NA, -0.2, 2.2),
  blinded_info = c(50, 100, 50, 100),
  unblinded_info = c(50, 100, 50, 100)
)
check_gs_bound(sim_df, design)
