Upgrading from crmPack version 1.0"

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(tibble)
library(kableExtra)
library(checkmate)

The following vignette describes the changes that were introduced to the crmPack package as a result of the package's refactoring. One row in below tables represents a single-type, consistent change.

Class and slot changes

Naming convention motivation

To be close to common R style guidelines [@advancedR] and use consistent naming conventions within the crmPack package, CamelCase notation is used for class names, method names and constructor function names, and snake_case notation is used for slot names throughout the package.

Moved dose and prob Functions from Slots to Methods

Moved dose and prob functions from model class slots to model class methods. Example of usage: dose/prob function as a true dose-DLT/DLT-dose relationship.

Generate data, define a model and get samples

library(crmPack)

empty_data <- Data(doseGrid = c(1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100))
my_model <- LogisticNormal(
  mean = c(-0.85, 1),
  cov = matrix(c(1, -0.5, -0.5, 1), nrow = 2)
)
my_options <- McmcOptions(burnin = 2, step = 2, samples = 20)
my_samples <- mcmc(empty_data, my_model, my_options)

Dose

Here is the example on how the dose function can be used in case of different inputs, i.e. model's parameters samples or in case of a fixed model's parameters values.

# Doses reaching a specific target probability of the occurrence of a DLT (equal to 0.3),
# given a particular models and samples.
# Every single dose corresponds to one particular sample in `my_samples`.
dose(0.3, my_model, my_samples)

# True dose-DLT relationship.
# Say that -0.8 and 1 are the true values for models parameters alpha0 and alpha1 respectively.
# The `true_dose_fun` takes one argument (target probability of the occurrence of a DLT)
# and computes the corresponding dose, according to the model chosen and given a fixed values
# of the model's parameters.
true_dose_fun <- doseFunction(my_model, alpha0 = -0.8, alpha1 = 1)
true_dose_fun(0.3)

Prob

# Toxicity probabilities for a given dose (equal to 10), model and samples.
# Every single probability value corresponds to one particular sample in `my_samples`.
prob(10, my_model, my_samples)

# True DLT-dose relationship.
# Say that -0.8 and 1 are the true values for models parameters alpha0 and alpha1 respectively.
# The `true_prob_fun` takes one argument (the dose) and computes the corresponding
# toxicity probability, according to the model chosen and given a fixed values
# of the model's parameters.
true_prob_fun <- probFunction(my_model, alpha0 = -0.8, alpha1 = 1)
true_prob_fun(10)

New Random Number Generator settings for the MCMC

The Random Number Generator (RNG) settings used by the JAGS for the MCMC are now configured solely through the McmcOptions class. The RNG settings are: RNG type and the RNG seed that corresponds to a given RNG type. Find out details in the help page for the McmcOptions class. Any RNG-related user settings at the R session level (such us those with set.seed()) are ignored by the MCMC sampler.

New no-argument constructors

To aid software development, new no-argument constructs for all sub-classes of GeneralModel, Increments, NextBest and Stopping have been introduced. The names of these constructors take the form .Default<classname>, where <classname> is the name of the class being created.

These constructors return valid, but not necessarily contextually sensible, objects of the required class. One reason the objects returned may not be contextually sensible is that the constructors take no account of any associated doseGrid.

Here are some examples of their use:

.DefaultStoppingAll()

class_name <- "LogisticNormal"
eval(parse(text = paste0(".Default", class_name, "()")))

Handling of NA or placebo returned as next dose

For consistent handling how the study is stopped and to facilitate analysis of stop reasons in the operation characteristics, the handling of NA and placebo returned by nextBest methods is changed. In the previous version of crmPack stopping for placebo or NA returned by a nextBest method was handled automatically in the generic Stopping method. This is now moved into a new stopping rule StoppingMissingDose. As a consequence, the stopping rule StoppingMissingDose must be specified for those nextBest methods that can return NA, or when placebo is used. Otherwise the simulation may run into an error if the study is not stopped when NA is returned as the next dose. nextBest methods that can return NA are NextBestNCRM, NextBestNCRMLoss and NextBestDualEndpoint.

Evaluation of stopping rules at a specific dose

Without further specification, stopping rules are evaluated at the dose returned by the used nextBest method. With the new stopping rule StoppingSpecificDose it is possible to evaluate stopping rules at any dose. For usage see documentation of StoppingSpecificDose.
