Description

The class with the input for finding the next best MTD estimate with highest probability to be the MTD. The dose which has the highest probability to be the MTD among the specified doses is used as next best dose. The posterior is calculated for each iteration and the maximum dose that is not toxic (below target) is determined. The allocation criteria is calculated as the frequency of a dose being selected as MTD. The dose with the highest allocation value is selected as next best dose.

method

the method used for calculating the allocation criteria 1=aggregate no dose safe with first dose 2=aggregate no dose safe with last dose 3=do not aggregate, but report the first dose as best next dose, in case 'no dose is safe' has the highest allocation value. This follows the idea used for the smallest distance to the target dose approach, where always a dose is recommended, even though the lowest dose estimated is above target
