internal

Design and analysis of confirmatory adaptive clinical trials with continuous, binary, and survival endpoints according to the methods described in the monograph by Wassmer and Brannath (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-32562-0>.

param_typeOfSelection function

<dl><dt>typeOfSelection</dt>
<dd>The way the treatment arms or populations are selected at interim.
Five options are available: <code>"best"</code>, <code>"rbest"</code>, <code>"epsilon"</code>, <code>"all"</code>, and <code>"userDefined"</code>,
default is <code>"best"</code>. 
For <code>"rbest"</code> (select the <code>rValue</code> best treatment arms/populations), the parameter <code>rValue</code> has to be specified,
for <code>"epsilon"</code> (select treatment arm/population not worse than epsilon compared to the best), the parameter
<code>epsilonValue</code> has to be specified.
If <code>"userDefined"</code> is selected, <code>"selectArmsFunction"</code> or <code>"selectPopulationsFunction"</code> has to be specified.</dd></dl>
