ObrienFleming | R Documentation |
Stipulates alpha spending according to the O'Brien-Fleming
spending function in the Lan-Demets boundary construction method. Its
intended purpose is in constructing calls to GrpSeqBnds
and
PwrGSD
.
ObrienFleming()
An object of class spending.function
which is really a list
with the following components. The print method displays the original
call.
type |
Gives the spending function type, which is the character string "ObrienFleming" |
call |
returns the call |
The print method returns the call by default

## example 1: what is the result of calling a spending function
## A call to 'ObrienFleming' just returns the call
ObrienFleming()
## but really its value is a list with a component named
## 'type' equal to "ObrienFleming" and a component named
## 'call' equal to the call.
names(ObrienFleming)
ObrienFleming()$type
ObrienFleming()$call
## example 2: ...But the intended purpose of the spending functions is
## in constructing calls to 'GrpSeqBnds' and to 'PwrGSD':
