Simulation-Based Calculation of Basket Trial Operating Characteristics.

basksim

Overview

basksim calculates the operating characteristics of different basket trial designs based on simulation.

Installation

Install the development veresion with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("lbau7/basksim")

Usage

With basksim you can calculate the operating characteristics such as rejection probabilities and mean squared error of single-stage basket trials with different designs.

At first, you have to create a design-object using a setup-function. For example to create a design-object for Fujikawa’s design (Fujikawa et al., 2020):

library(basksim)
design <- setup_fujikawa(k = 3, shape1 = 1, shape2 = 1, p0 = 0.2)

k is the number of baskets, shape1 and shape2 are the shape parameters of the Beta-prior of the response probabilities of each baskets and p0 is the response probability that defines the null hypothesis.

Use get_details to estimate several important operating characteristics:

get_details(
  design = design,
  n = 20,
  p1 = c(0.2, 0.5, 0.5),
  lambda = 0.95,
  epsilon = 1.5,
  tau = 0,
  iter = 5000
)
