StoppingList

Description

StoppingList is the class for testing a stopping rule that consists of many single stopping rules that are in turn the objects of class Stopping. The summary slot stores a function that takes a logical vector of the size of stop_list and returns a single logical value. For example, if the function all is specified as a summary function, then that all stopping rules defined in stop_list must be satisfied in order the result of this rule to be TRUE.

Usage

StoppingList(stop_list, summary)

.DefaultStoppingList()

Arguments

stop_list	(list) see slot definition.
summary	(function) see slot definition.

Slots

stop_list

(list)
list of stopping rules.

summary

(function)
a summary function to combine the results of the stopping rules into a single result.

Note

Typically, end users will not use the .DefaultStoppingList() function.

Examples

# Define some stopping rules.
my_stopping1 <- StoppingMinCohorts(nCohorts = 3)
my_stopping2 <- StoppingTargetProb(target = c(0.2, 0.35), prob = 0.5)
my_stopping3 <- StoppingMinPatients(nPatients = 20)

# Create a list of stopping rules (of class `StoppingList`) which will then be
# summarized (in this specific example) with the `any` function, meaning that
# the study would be stopped if any of the single stopping rules is `TRUE`.
my_stopping <- StoppingList(
  stop_list = c(my_stopping1, my_stopping2, my_stopping3),
  summary = any
)
