Analytically determine the operating characteristics of a multi-stage drop-the-losers multi-arm clinical trial for a Bernoulli distributed primary outcome

opchar_dtl_bern() determines the operating characteristics of a specified multi-stage drop-the-losers multi-arm clinical trial design assuming the primary outcome variable is Bernoulli distributed, for given values of the true treatment effects, using multivariate normal integration.

opchar_dtl_bern(des = des_dtl_bern(), pi, summary = FALSE)

Arguments

des	A list of class "multiarm_des_dtl_bern", as returned by build_dtl_bern or des_dtl_bern (i.e., a multi-stage drop-the-losers multi-arm clinical trial design for a Bernoulli distributed outcome). Defaults to des_dtl_bern().
pi	A matrix whose rows indicate values of π at which to evaluate the operating characteristics. Defaults internally to the global null, global alternative, and each of the least favourable configurations, for the specified design des.
summary	A logical variable indicating whether a summary of the function's progress should be printed to the console. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A list containing the following elements

• A tibble in the slot $opchar giving the determined operating characteristics.

• A tibble in the slot $pmf_N giving the determined probability mass functions of the random required sample size.

• Each of the input variables.
