OneSampleMean.NIS: One Sample Mean Test for Non-Inferiority/Superiority

In TrialSize: R Functions for Chapter 3,4,6,7,9,10,11,12,14,15 of Sample Size Calculation in Clinical Research

Description

Ho: margin ≤ delta Ha: margin > delta

if delta >0, the rejection of Null Hypothesis indicates the true mean is superior over the reference value mu0;

if delta <0, the rejection of the null hypothesis implies the true mean is non-inferior against the reference value mu0.

Usage

OneSampleMean.NIS(alpha, beta, sigma, margin, delta)

Arguments

alpha	significance level
beta	power = 1-beta
sigma	standard deviation
delta	the superiority or non-inferiority margin
margin	margin=\bar{x}-μ_0 the difference between the true mean response of a test \bar{x} and a reference value μ_0
