Bayesian sample size calculation software

Description

Bayesian sample size calculation software and examples for Eurosarc clinical trials which utilise Bayesian methodology for binary endpoints (response/no-response). These trials rely on binomial based endpoints so the majority of programs found here relate to this sort of endpoint. Interim analyses are permitted for most designs. Developed as part of the EuroSARC FP7 grant.

This package contains functions and some corresponding shiny versions of them for a user interface approach to sample size calculation and some examples.

There are both frequentist and Bayesian sample size optimisation programs contained here. Both versions are capable of computing frequentist and Bayesian properties of the given approach. This should allow for easy comparison between approaches.

List of user friendly shiny apps:

shiny_binom_single_onestage
shiny_binom_single_twostage
shiny_LINES_posterior

function naming convention:

Functions are named in the following way:

  • freq_ or bayes_ denoting a frequentist or Bayesian designs.

  • binom_ indicating a binomial endpoint.

  • one_ or two_ indicating one or two endpoints.

  • methodname_ indicating the approach used.

  • onestage, twostage or nstage. Program for the number of stages. If the program is designed for any number of stages this has been ommited.

For example freq_binom_one_simons_twostage is a function for designing a frequentist single endpoint binomial trial using Simons two stage design.

One endpoint designs:
freq_binom_one_onestage: Finds the smallest sample size for a frequentist trial given the design parameters.

freq_binom_one_simons_twostage: Returns Simon's two stage designs with frequentist and bayesian properties of the designs. Options to return both the optimal and minmax designs.

freq_binom_one_landemets: Returns designs based on Lan-DeMets alpha spending approach using the O'Brien-Fleming alpha spending function (Lan and DeMets 1995, O'Brien and Fleming 1979).

bayes_binom_one_postprob_onestage: Finds the smallest sample size of a Bayesian trial given the design parameters.

bayes_binom_one_postprob_nstage: Computes frequentist and Bayesian properties for a trial with given sample sizes at each interim analysis. The posterior probability is used to determine the stopping critical values at interim.

bayes_binom_one_postlike_nstage: Computes frequentist and Bayesian properties for a trial with given sample sizes at each interim analysis. The posterior predictive probabilities are used to determine the stopping critical values at interim.

Two endpoint designs:
The two endpoint designs assume that two endpoints are independent.

freq_binom_two_singlestage: Finds the smallest sample size for a frequentist trial with two binary endpoints given the design parameters. Exact errors are computed so there is no issue of multiplicity.

freq_binom_two_bryantday_twostage: Returns Bryant and Day's two-stage designs with frequentist and bayesian properties of the designs. Options to return both the optimal and minmax designs (Bryant and Day 1995).

bayes_binom_two_postprob: Computes frequentist and Bayesian properties for a trial with two binary endpoints and given sample sizes at each interim analysis. Posterior probabilities are used to determine the stopping critical values at interim.

bayes_binom_two_postlike: Computes frequentist and Bayesian properties for a trial with two binary endpoints and given sample sizes at each interim analysis. Posterior predictive probabilities are used to determine the stopping critical values at interim.

bayes_binom_two_loss: Computes frequentist and Bayesian properties for a trial with two binary endpoints and given sample sizes at each interim analysis. A Bayesian loss function approach is used to determine the stopping critical values at all analyses (Chen 2009).

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("trialDesign_binom_two", ...).

Slots

reviews:

Object of class "numeric", a vector of the number of patients each interim analysis will occur at

data:

Object of class "data.frame", exact simulation values for each scenario

cutpoints:

Object of class "data.frame", the most extreme cutpoints when cause the trial to stop on their own (ignoring interaction with the other endpoint)

precision:

Object of class "numeric", should be a vector of ones confirming probability is all accounted for

decision:

Object of class "list", a list of matrices for the decisions to be made at each interim analysis

post.futility, post.efficacy, post.toxicity, post.no_toxicity:

Object of class "numeric", The posterior probabilities of the design

graph:

Object of class "list", an optional argument to pass to plot for the ploting of the first graph

data

Exact simulation values for each scenario
