Ensures that all arguments (starting from the "...") are to be named and that a warning will be displayed if unknown arguments are passed. |

Three options are available: |

At given design the function calculates the power, stopping probabilities, and expected
sample size at given number of events and number of subjects.
It also calculates the time when the required events are expected under the given
assumptions (exponentially, piecewise exponentially, or Weibull distributed survival times
and constant or non-constant piecewise accrual).
Additionally, an allocation ratio = n1 / n2
can be specified where n1
and n2
are the number
of subjects in the two treatment groups.
The formula of Kim & Tsiatis (Biometrics, 1990)
is used to calculate the expected number of events under the alternative
(see also Lakatos & Lan, Statistics in Medicine, 1992). These formulas are generalized to piecewise survival times and
non-constant piecewise accrual over time.
Returns a TrialDesignPlan
object.
The following generics (R generic functions) are available for this result object:
names()
to obtain the field names,
print()
to print the object,
summary()
to display a summary of the object,
plot()
to plot the object,
as.data.frame()
to coerce the object to a data.frame
,
as.matrix()
to coerce the object to a matrix
.
The first element of the vector piecewiseSurvivalTime
must be equal to 0
.
piecewiseSurvivalTime
can also be a list that combines the definition of the
time intervals and hazard rates in the reference group.
The definition of the survival time in the treatment group is obtained by the specification
of the hazard ratio (see examples for details).
accrualTime
is the time period of subjects' accrual in a study.
It can be a value that defines the end of accrual or a vector.
In this case, accrualTime
can be used to define a non-constant accrual over time.
For this, accrualTime
is a vector that defines the accrual intervals.
The first element of accrualTime
must be equal to 0
and, additionally,
accrualIntensity
needs to be specified.
accrualIntensity
itself is a value or a vector (depending on the
length of accrualTime
) that defines the intensity how subjects
enter the trial in the intervals defined through accrualTime
.
accrualTime
can also be a list that combines the definition of the accrual time and
accrual intensity (see below and examples for details).
If the length of accrualTime
and the length of accrualIntensity
are the same
(i.e., the end of accrual is undefined), maxNumberOfSubjects > 0
needs to be specified
and the end of accrual is calculated.
In that case, accrualIntensity
is the number of subjects per time unit, i.e., the absolute accrual intensity.
If the length of accrualTime
equals the length of accrualIntensity - 1
(i.e., the end of accrual is defined), maxNumberOfSubjects
is calculated if the absolute accrual intensity is given.
If all elements in accrualIntensity
are smaller than 1, accrualIntensity
defines
the relative intensity how subjects enter the trial.
For example, accrualIntensity = c(0.1, 0.2)
specifies that in the second accrual interval
the intensity is doubled as compared to the first accrual interval. The actual (absolute) accrual intensity
is calculated for the calculated or given maxNumberOfSubjects
.
Note that the default is accrualIntensity = 0.1
meaning that the absolute accrual intensity
will be calculated.

specific implementation of the generic.
Note that you can use the R function methods
to get all the methods of a generic and
to identify the object specific name of it, e.g.,
use methods("plot")
to get all the methods for the plot
generic.
There you can find, e.g., plot.AnalysisResults
and
obtain the specific help documentation linked above by typing ?plot.AnalysisResults
