compoundEvtInnovDist-class: An S4 class to represent a compound distribution.

In optimalThreshold: Bayesian Methods for Optimal Threshold Estimation

Description

This S4 class describes the 'compound' distribution that is fitted to the marker values of patients that developed the event of interest in the innovative treatment arm when the type of distribution is set to 'undefined' in the fit function.

Details

You never have to create this class manually. This class is created internally when an undefined distribution is fitted on the marker values.

Slots

EvtRefDist

This slot is an object that describes the distribution of the marker for patients that developed the event in the reference arm. This object must be an "allowedDist" class object.

NoEvtRefDist

This slot is an object that describes the distribution of the marker for patients that did not develop the event in the reference arm. This object must be an "allowedDist" class object.

NoEvtInnovDist

This slot is an object that describes the distribution of the marker for patients that did not develop the event in the innovative arm. This object must be an "allowedDist" class object.

r0

Mean risk of event occurrence in the reference arm. Numeric argument.

r1

Mean risk of event occurrence in the innovative arm. Numeric argument.
