model_response: Model Responser

In MCPModBC: Improved Inference in Multiple Comparison Procedure – Modelling

Model Responser

Description

It calculates the model response and parameters of interest for a given distribution.

Usage

model_response(doses, distr, model.true, models.candidate)

Arguments

doses	a numeric vector indicating the doses that will be considered in the clinical trial.
distr	a character value indicating the distribution of the response variable. Currently, the only option available is 'weibull'.
model.true	a character value indicating the functional form of the true dose-response curve. Options are "constant", "linear", "linlog", "quadratic", "exponential", "emax", "sigmaEmax", "betaMod", "logistic", "linInt".
models.candidate	an object of class Mods. See more details in Mods.

Value

a data frame with dimension length(doses) \times 3 with the following columns: (1) model response (2) model parameter and (3) doses

Examples

library(DoseFinding)
library(MCPModBC)

## doses scenarios 
doses <- c(0, 5, 25, 50, 100)
nd <- length(doses)

# median survival time for placebo dose
mst.control <- 4 

# shape parameter
sigma.true <- 0.5

# maximum hazard ratio between active dose and placebo dose 
hr.ratio <- 4  
# minimum hazard ratio between active dose and placebo dose
hr.Delta <- 2 

# hazard rate for placebo dose
placEff <- log(mst.control/(log(2)^sigma.true)) 

# maximum hazard rate for active dose
maxEff <- log((mst.control*(hr.ratio^sigma.true))/(log(2)^sigma.true))

# minimum hazard rate for active dose
minEff.Delta <- log((mst.control*(hr.Delta^sigma.true))/(log(2)^sigma.true))
Delta <- (minEff.Delta - placEff)

## MCP Parameters

logit <- guesst(d = c(doses[3], doses[4]), p = c(0.1,0.8), "logistic",  Maxd= doses[nd])
betam <- guesst(d = doses[2], p = 0.3, "betaMod", scal=120, dMax=50, Maxd= doses[nd])

                         betaMod = betam, doses = doses,
                         placEff = placEff, maxEff = (maxEff- placEff))
