title: 'carts: Simulation-Based Assessment of Covariate Adjustment in Randomized Trials'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.carts
abstract: Monte Carlo simulation framework for different randomized clinical trial
  designs with a special emphasis on estimators based on covariate adjustment. The
  package implements regression-based covariate adjustment (Rosenblum & van der Laan
  (2010) <https://doi.org/10.2202/1557-4679.1138>) and a one-step estimator (Van Lancker
  et al (2024) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2404.11150>) for trials with continuous,
  binary and count outcomes. The estimation of the minimum sample-size required to
  reach a specified statistical power for a given estimator uses bisection to find
  an initial rough estimate, followed by stochastic approximation (Robbins-Monro (1951)
  <https://doi.org/10.1214/aoms/1177729586>) to improve the estimate, and finally,
  a grid search to refine the estimate in the neighborhood of the current best solution.
