pval: Computes permutation test p-value

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) References See Also

Description

Returns permutation test p-value; used in the construction of exact confidence intervals by the function exactCI

Usage

1
pval(eff, est, null, y0.a0, y1.a0, y0.a1, y1.a1, h, n, m.a0, m.a1, C2)

Arguments

eff

treatment effect of interest; either “DEa0”, “DEa1”, “IE”, “TE”, or “OE”

est

estimated treatment effect using estimators from Hudgens and Halloran (2008)

null

value of treatment effect of interest under the sharp null hypothesis

y0.a0

hypothesized vector \vec{y}(0;α_{0}) under the sharp null hypothesis

y1.a0

hypothesized vector \vec{y}(1;α_{0}) under the sharp null hypothesis

y0.a1

hypothesized vector \vec{y}(0;α_{1}) under the sharp null hypothesis

y1.a1

hypothesized vector \vec{y}(1;α_{1}) under the sharp null hypothesis

h

the number of groups out of k total to be randomized to strategy α_{1}

n

group size vector where element i=1,…,k is equal to the number of subjects in group i

m.a0

α_{0} randomization vector where element i=1,…,k is equal to the number of subjects in group i who would receive treatment if group i was randomized to strategy α_{0}

m.a1

α_{1} randomization vector where element i=1,…,k is equal to the number of subjects in group i who would receive treatment if group i was randomized to strategy α_{1}

C2

number of re-randomizations (experiments) to conduct in computing the null distribution of the estimator
