In mtdesign: Mander and Thompson Designs

Obtain default bounds for the construction of the search grid.

Description

The formula used is the continuity corrected Normal approximation from Fleiss et al (2003).

Usage

searchBounds(p0, p1, alpha = 0.05, beta = 0.2, twoSided = TRUE)

Arguments

p0	the response rate under the null hypothesis
p1	the response rate under the alternate hypothesis
alpha	the desired (one-sided) type 1 error rate
beta	the desired type 2 error rate
twoSided	two- or one-sided significance level?

Value

a list with three elements: "n" - the single stage sample size from Fleiss et al; "min" - the lower bound, 0.8*n; "max" - the upper bound, 2*n. floor() and ceiling() are applied as appropriate.
