ssutil: Sample Size Calculation Tools

Functions for sample size estimation and simulation in clinical trials. Includes methods for selecting the best group using the Indifference-zone approach, as well as designs for non-inferiority, equivalence, and negative binomial models. For the sample size calculation for non-inferiority of vaccines, the approach is based on Fleming, Powers, and Huang (2021) <doi:10.1177/1740774520988244>. The Indifference-zone approach is based on Sobel and Huyett (1957) <doi:10.1002/j.1538-7305.1957.tb02411.x> and Bechhofer, Santner, and Goldsman (1995, ISBN:978-0-471-57427-9).
