EffFlexi: Initialization function for the "EffFlexi" class

In crmPack: Object-Oriented Implementation of CRM Designs

Initialization function for the "EffFlexi" class

Description

Initialization function for the "EffFlexi" class

Usage

EffFlexi(Eff, Effdose, sigma2, sigma2betaW, smooth = c("RW1", "RW2"), data)

Arguments

Eff	the pseudo efficacy responses
Effdose	the corresponding dose levels for the pseudo efficacy responses
sigma2	the prior variance of the efficacy responses which can be specified with a single positive scalar or with two positive scalar values fot the shape a and the rate b parameters of the inverse gamma distribtuion.
sigma2betaW	the prior variance of the random walk model used for smoothing which can be specified with a single postive scalar or with two positive scalars representing the shape a and the rate b parameter of the inverse gamma distribution.
smooth	used for smoothing data for this efficacy model. That is either the "RW1", the first-order random walk model or "RW2", the second-order random walk model is used of the mean efficacy responses.
data	the input data to update estimates of model parameters and follow the DataDual object class specification

Value

the EffFlexi class object
