DualDesign-class: Class for the dual-endpoint CRM design

In crmPack: Object-Oriented Implementation of CRM Designs

Class for the dual-endpoint CRM design

Description

This class has special requirements for the model and data slots in comparison to the parent class Design:

Slots

model

the model to be used, an object of class DualEndpoint

data

what is the dose grid, any previous data, etc., contained in an object of class DataDual

Note that the NextBest slot can be of any class, this allows for easy comparison with recommendation methods that don't use the biomarker information.

Examples

# Define the dose-grid
emptydata <- DataDual(doseGrid = c(1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100))

# Initialize the CRM model 
model <- DualEndpointRW(mu = c(0, 1),
                        Sigma = matrix(c(1, 0, 0, 1), nrow=2),
                        sigma2betaW = 0.01,
                        sigma2W = c(a=0.1, b=0.1),
                        rho = c(a=1, b=1),
                        smooth="RW1")

# Choose the rule for selecting the next dose 
myNextBest <- NextBestDualEndpoint(target=c(0.9, 1),
                                   overdose=c(0.35, 1),
                                   maxOverdoseProb=0.25)

# Choose the rule for the cohort-size 
mySize1 <- CohortSizeRange(intervals=c(0, 30),
                           cohortSize=c(1, 3))
mySize2 <- CohortSizeDLT(DLTintervals=c(0, 1),
                         cohortSize=c(1, 3))
mySize <- maxSize(mySize1, mySize2)

# Choose the rule for stopping
myStopping4 <- StoppingTargetBiomarker(target=c(0.9, 1),
                                       prob=0.5)
myStopping <- myStopping4 | StoppingMinPatients(40)

# Choose the rule for dose increments
myIncrements <- IncrementsRelative(intervals=c(0, 20),
                                   increments=c(1, 0.33))

# Initialize the design
design <- DualDesign(model = model,
                     data = emptydata,
                     nextBest = myNextBest,
                     stopping = myStopping,
                     increments = myIncrements,
                     cohortSize = mySize,
                     startingDose = 3)
