In rPowerSampleSize: Sample Size Computations Controlling the Type-II Generalized Family-Wise Error Rate

Description

This function aims at analysing m multiple continuous endpoints with a global procedure. The clinical aim is to be able to detect a mean difference between the test T and the control C product for at least one endpoint among m. This method is based on a multivariate model taking into account the correlations between the m endpoints and possibly some adjustment variables. The result gives only a global decision.

Usage

global.1m.analysis(XC, XT, A, alpha = 0.05, n = NULL)

Arguments

XC	matrix of the outcome for the control group.
XT	matrix of the outcome for the test group.
A	matrix of the adjustment variables.
n	sample size of a group. The sample size needs to be the same for each group.
alpha	value which corresponds to the chosen Type-I error rate bound.

Value

Pvalue

the p-value of the global test.
