Description

Allocate treatments according to an information matrix based optimality criterion allowing for a pseudo-nonmyopic approach. We assume a logistic model for the response.

cr.simfuture.logis(covar, true.beta, threshold, kappa, init, int, cr.lossfunc,
  k, wt = T, sim, z.probs, same.start = NULL, rand.start = NULL,
  stoc = T, bayes = T, u = NULL, prior.default = T, coordex = NULL,
  true.bvcov = NULL, ...)

Arguments

covar

a dataframe for the covariates

true.beta

the true parameter values of the data generating mechanism

threshold

the cut-off value for hypothesis tests

kappa

the value of probability at which weights are set at zero

init

the number of units in the initial design

int

set to T if you allow for treatment-covariate interactions in the model, NULL otherwise

cr.lossfunc

a function for the optimality criterion to minimize which is appropriate for linear combinations of parameters

k

number of "outer loops" in the coordinate exchange algorithm

wt

set to T if the above lossfunction is weighted, NULL otherwise

sim

number of trajectories to simulate

z.probs

vector of probabilities for each level of covariate z

same.start

the design matrix to be used for the initial design. If set to NULL, function generates initial design.

rand.start

If set to T, function generates an initial design randomly. Else, coordinate exchange is used.

stoc

set to T if treatments are allocated using a stochastic method where the probability is determined by the optimality crtierion. Set to F if treatments are allocated deterministically.

bayes

set to T if bayesglm is used instead of glm. Default prior assumed.

u

vector of uniform random numbers for generating responses. If set to NULL, responses generated from the binomial distribution.

prior.default

set to T if default priors for bayesglm is used. If set to False and bayes=T, normal priors used.

coordex

set to T if the coordinate exchange algorithm is used to assign treatments in the trajectory. Sequential approach used otherwsise.

true.bvcov

if set to T, use the true parameter values to compute obejctive function. If set to NULL, use estimated parameter values.

...

further arguments to be passed to <lossfunc>

Value

Design matrix D, values of the objective function
