Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) selection for single-agent trials

Description

Select the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) when the single-agent trial is completed

Usage

select.mtd.pop(target, n.pts, n.tox)

Arguments

target	the target DLT rate
n.pts	a vector containing the number of patients treated at each dose level
n.tox	a vector containing the number of patients who experienced dose-limiting toxicity at each dose level

Value

select.mtd.pop() returns (1) selected MTD ($MTD), (2) isotonic estimate of the DLT probablity at each dose and associated
