Helper function: Computes the minimal clinically relevant standardised mean difference for the safe t-test nPlan and beta.

Description

Helper function: Computes the minimal clinically relevant standardised mean difference for the safe t-test nPlan and beta.

Usage

computeEsMinSafeT(
  nPlan,
  alpha = 0.05,
  beta = 0.2,
  alternative = c("twoSided", "greater", "less"),
  testType = c("oneSample", "paired", "twoSample"),
  lowN = 3,
  highN = 1e+06,
  ratio = 1
)

Arguments

nPlan	vector of max length 2 representing the planned sample sizes.
alpha	numeric in (0, 1) that specifies the tolerable type I error control –independent of n– that the designed test has to adhere to. Note that it also defines the rejection rule e10 > 1/alpha.
beta	numeric in (0, 1) that specifies the tolerable type II error control necessary to calculate both the sample sizes and deltaS, which defines the test. Note that 1-beta defines the power.
alternative	a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis must be one of "twoSided" (default), "greater" or "less".
testType	either one of "oneSample", "paired", "twoSample".
lowN	integer minimal sample size of the (first) sample when computing the power due to optional stopping. Default lowN is set 1.
highN	integer minimal sample size of the (first) sample when computing the power due to optional stopping. Default highN is set 1e6.
ratio	numeric > 0 representing the randomisation ratio of condition 2 over condition 1. If testType is not equal to "twoSample", or if nPlan is of length(1) then ratio=1.

Value

a list which contains at least nPlan and the phiS the parameter that defines the safe test
