In lrstat: Power and Sample Size Calculation for Non-Proportional Hazards and Beyond

lrstat

The goal of lrstat is to calculate power and sample size under non-proportional hazards using weighted log-rank tests both analytically and using simulations in a time-to-event group-sequential trial.

It has built-in capabilities to use error-spending functions and can calcualte power, accrual duration, follow-up duration, and absolute accrual rates for the Fleming-Harrington's class of weighting functions.

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(lrstat)
## basic example code for a two-stage group sequential trial with interim
## analysis at 80% of total number of events using Lan-DeMets O'Brien-Fleming
## error-spending. The accrual has a ramp-up periof of 9 months before 
## reaching 26 patients per month. The survival distribution for the treatment
## group has a delay effect of 6 months and a hazard ratio 0.58 after the delay. 
## The annual dropout rate is 5%. The accrual duration is 22 months. 
## The follow-up duration is 18 months for the last randomized patients. 
## The FH(0,1) weighted log-rank test is used for power calculation.
