secControl: Difference between the Error Rate and Significance Level, Standard Approach

Description

Calculate the difference between the error rate and significance level for the secondary endpoint, standard (original) approach.

Usage

secControl(d, alpha, cvec, gammaVec, ExtrmLoc, type = 2)

Value

difference between alpha and the calculated error rate.

Arguments

d

boundary of secondary endpoint at the final look (a number, d_(K))

alpha

targeted significance level for the secondary endpoint

cvec

a vector of calculated primary boundaries

gammaVec

square root of information

ExtrmLoc

an integer between 1 and K, locate the maximum of type I error of secondary endpoint

type

type of sequential procedures. Type 1 OBF d, Type 2 POC d.
