Nine months after publication of rpact 2.0.6 the official release of the rpact package version 3.0.0 is available on CRAN (The Comprehensive R Archive Network):
https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=rpact
New features
- Simulation tools for multi-arm design testing means, rates, and hazard ratios
- Analysis tools for multi-arm design testing means, rates, and hazard ratios
- getSimulationRates: exact versions for testing a rate (one-sample case) and equality of rates (two-sample case)
- getDataset: multi-arm datasets for means, rates, and survival data
- Analysis of fixed designs
- Summary for analysis and simulation result objects newly implemented
- Summary for most rpact result objects substantially improved and enhanced
- getEventProbabilities: plot of result object
- getNumberOfSubjects: plot of result object
- Visual comparison of two designs: plot(design1, design2)
- Functions setOutputFormat and getOutputFormat implemented: definition of user defined output formats
- getSimulationMeans: thetaH1 and stDevH1 can be specified for assessment of sample size recalculation (replaces thetaStandardized)
- getSimulationSurvival: separate p-values added to the aggregated simulation data for Fisher designs
- getSimulationMeans, getSimulationRates: Cumulated number of subjects integrated in getData object
- getSimulation[MultiArm][Means/Rates/Survival]: new logical argument 'showStatistics' added
- Example datasets (csv files) added to the package
- plot type "all": plot all available plots of an object in one step using plot(x, type = "all")
- plot type improved: 'type' now can be a vector, e.g., plot(x, type = c(1, 3))
- plot(x, grid = 1): new plot argument 'grid' enables the plotting of 2 or more plots in one graphic
