sample.space: Sample space enumeration (K>2)

In CLAST: Exact Confidence Limits after a Sequential Trial

Sample space enumeration (K>2)

Description

Creates all possible samples from a multi-stage group sequential trial with K>2. If K=2, use the function sample.space.2 instead.

Usage

sample.space(n, a, b)

Arguments

n	Design vector of planned sample sizes
a	Design vector of lower futility boundaries
b	Design vector of upper superiority boundaries

Value

list with components $Y, $M, $S, $decision and $design

Examples

n=c(5,6,5,9)
a=c(2,4,5,12)
b=c(5,9,11,13)
# There are 364 possible outcomes from this design which are

# Y contains the 364 possible sequential binary outcomes;
# M contains how many stages before the decision;
# S contains the total number of success that produces the decision;
# decision the final binary test result of H0 or H1.
