kmstat1: Milestone Survival Probability by Stratum

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

Milestone Survival Probability by Stratum

Description

Obtains the milestone survival probability and associated variance by treatment group and by stratum at a given calendar time.

Usage

kmstat1(
  time = NA_real_,
  milestone = NA_real_,
  allocationRatioPlanned = 1,
  accrualTime = 0L,
  accrualIntensity = NA_real_,
  piecewiseSurvivalTime = 0L,
  stratumFraction = 1L,
  lambda1 = NA_real_,
  lambda2 = NA_real_,
  gamma1 = 0L,
  gamma2 = 0L,
  accrualDuration = NA_real_,
  followupTime = NA_real_,
  fixedFollowup = 0L
)

Arguments

time	The calendar time for data cut.
milestone	The milestone time at which to calculate the survival probability.
allocationRatioPlanned	Allocation ratio for the active treatment versus control. Defaults to 1 for equal randomization.
accrualTime	A vector that specifies the starting time of piecewise Poisson enrollment time intervals. Must start with 0, e.g., c(0, 3) breaks the time axis into 2 accrual intervals: [0, 3) and [3, Inf).
accrualIntensity	A vector of accrual intensities. One for each accrual time interval.
piecewiseSurvivalTime	A vector that specifies the starting time of piecewise exponential survival time intervals. Must start with 0, e.g., c(0, 6) breaks the time axis into 2 event intervals: [0, 6) and [6, Inf). Defaults to 0 for exponential distribution.
stratumFraction	A vector of stratum fractions that sum to 1. Defaults to 1 for no stratification.
lambda1	A vector of hazard rates for the event in each analysis time interval by stratum for the active treatment group.
lambda2	A vector of hazard rates for the event in each analysis time interval by stratum for the control group.
gamma1	The hazard rate for exponential dropout, a vector of hazard rates for piecewise exponential dropout applicable for all strata, or a vector of hazard rates for dropout in each analysis time interval by stratum for the active treatment group.
gamma2	The hazard rate for exponential dropout, a vector of hazard rates for piecewise exponential dropout applicable for all strata, or a vector of hazard rates for dropout in each analysis time interval by stratum for the control group.
accrualDuration	Duration of the enrollment period.
followupTime	Follow-up time for the last enrolled subject.
fixedFollowup	Whether a fixed follow-up design is used. Defaults to 0 for variable follow-up.

Value

A data frame containing the following variables:

• stratum: The stratum.

• time: The calendar time since trial start.

• subjects: The number of enrolled subjects.

• milestone: The milestone time relative to randomization.

• surv1: The milestone survival probability for the treatment group.

• surv2: The milestone survival probability for the control group.

• survDiff: The difference in milestone survival probabilities, i.e., surv1 - surv2.

• vsurv1: The variance for surv1.

• vsurv2: The variance for surv2.

• vsurvDiff: The variance for survDiff.
