Based on piecewise enrollment rate, failure rate, and dropout rates computes approximate information and effect size using an average hazard ratio model.

Usage

gs_info_wlr(
  enrollRates = tibble::tibble(Stratum = "All", duration = c(2, 2, 10), rate = c(3, 6,
    9)),
  failRates = tibble::tibble(Stratum = "All", duration = c(3, 100), failRate =
    log(2)/c(9, 18), hr = c(0.9, 0.6), dropoutRate = rep(0.001, 2)),
  ratio = 1,
  events = NULL,
  analysisTimes = NULL,
  weight = wlr_weight_fh,
  approx = "asymptotic"
)

Arguments

enrollRates

enrollment rates

failRates

failure and dropout rates

ratio

Experimental:Control randomization ratio

events

Targeted minimum events at each analysis

analysisTimes

Targeted minimum study duration at each analysis

weight

weight of weighted log rank test

  • "1"=unweighted,

  • "n"=Gehan-Breslow,

  • "sqrtN"=Tarone-Ware,

  • "FH_p[a]_q[b]"= Fleming-Harrington with p=a and q=b

approx

approximate estimation method for Z statistics

  • "event driven" = only work under proportional hazard model with log rank test

  • "asymptotic"

Value

a tibble with columns Analysis, Time, N, Events, AHR, delta, sigma2, theta, info, info0.

info, info0 contains statistical information under H1, H0, respectively. For analysis k, Time[k] is the maximum of analysisTimes[k] and the expected time required to accrue the targeted events[k]. AHR is expected average hazard ratio at each analysis.

Details

The AHR() function computes statistical information at targeted event times. The tEvents() function is used to get events and average HR at targeted analysisTimes.
