efftox_solve_p: Calculate the p-index for EffTox utility contours

In trialr: Clinical Trial Designs in 'rstan'

Calculate the p-index for EffTox utility contours

Description

Calculate the p-index for EffTox utility contours so that the neutral utility contour intersects the following points in the Prob(Efficacy) - Prob(Toxicity) plane: (eff0, 0), (1, tox1) and (eff_star, tox_star)

Usage

efftox_solve_p(eff0, tox1, eff_star, tox_star)

Arguments

eff0	Efficacy probability required when toxicity is impossible; a number between 0 and 1
tox1	Toxicity probability permitted when efficacy is guaranteed; a number between 0 and 1
eff_star	Efficacy probability of an equi-utility third point
tox_star	Toxicity probability of an equi-utility third point

Value

The p-index
