Lee and Liu's criterion function for determining the trial decision cutoffs based on the predictive probability.
1 | PredP(x, n, nmax, a, b, p0, theta_t)
|
x |
the number of responses among n patients treated by the experimental drug at a certain stage of the trial. |
n |
the number of patients treated by the experimental drug at a certain stage of the trial. |
nmax |
the maximum number of patients treated by the experimental drug. |
a |
the hyperparameter (shape1) of the Beta prior for the experimental drug. |
b |
the hyperparameter (shape2) of the Beta prior for the experimental drug. |
p0 |
the the response rate for the standard drug. |
theta_t |
the cutoff probability for efficacy including future patients; typically, θ_T = [0.85, 0.95]. Set 0.9 by default. |
prob |
the predictive probability: PP = ∑\limits_{y=0}^{n_{max}-n} Pr(Y=y | x) I(\Pr(p > p_0 | Y=y, x) ≥q θ_T) |
