getDesignUnorderedBinom: Power and Sample Size for Unordered Multi-Sample Binomial Response

Description

Obtains the power given sample size or obtains the sample size given power for the chi-square test for unordered multi-sample binomial response.

Usage

getDesignUnorderedBinom(
  beta = NA_real_,
  n = NA_real_,
  ngroups = NA_integer_,
  pi = NA_real_,
  allocationRatioPlanned = NA_integer_,
  rounding = TRUE,
  alpha = 0.05
)

Value

An S3 class designUnorderedBinom object with the following components:

  • power: The power to reject the null hypothesis.

  • alpha: The two-sided significance level.

  • n: The maximum number of subjects.

  • ngroups: The number of treatment groups.

  • pi: The response probabilities for the treatment groups.

  • effectsize: The effect size for the chi-square test.

  • allocationRatioPlanned: Allocation ratio for the treatment groups.

  • rounding: Whether to round up sample size.

Details

A multi-sample binomial response design is used to test whether the response probabilities differ among multiple treatment arms. Let \(\pi_{g}\) denote the response probability in group \(g = 1,\ldots,G\), where \(G\) is the total number of treatment groups.

The chi-square test statistic is given by $$X^2 = \sum_{g=1}^{G} \sum_{i=1}^{2} \frac{(n_{gi} - n_{g+}n_{+i}/n)^2}{n_{g+} n_{+i}/n}$$ where \(n_{gi}\) is the number of subjects in category \(i\) for group \(g\), \(n_{g+}\) is the total number of subjects in group \(g\), and \(n_{+i}\) is the total number of subjects in category \(i\) across all groups, and \(n\) is the total sample size.

Let \(r_g\) denote the randomization probability for group \(g\), and define the weighted average response probability across all groups as $$\bar{\pi} = \sum_{g=1}^{G} r_g \pi_g$$

  • Under the null hypothesis, \(X^2\) follows a chi-square distribution with \(G-1\) degrees of freedom.

  • Under the alternative hypothesis, \(X^2\) follows a non-central chi-square distribution with non-centrality parameter $$\lambda = n \sum_{g=1}^{G} \frac{r_g (\pi_{g} - \bar{\pi})^2} {\bar{\pi} (1-\bar{\pi})}$$

The sample size is chosen such that the power to reject the null hypothesis is at least \(1-\beta\) for a given significance level \(\alpha\).
