Power Analysis Tool for Joint Testing Hazards with Competing Risks Data.
Description
Power Analysis Tool for Joint Testing Hazards with Competing Risks Data.
Usage
powerCompRisk(alpha, beta, lambda_11, RR, HR_1, HR_all, attrition, r, f, a1)
Arguments
| alpha | Type I error. | 
| beta | Type II error. | 
| lambda_11 | Cause-1 cause-specific hazard in group 1. | 
| RR | Relative risk of cause-1 failure versus the any-cause failure in group 1. | 
| HR_1 | Pre-specified cause-1 cause-specific hazard ratio between groups 1 and 2. | 
| HR_all | Pre-specified any-cause hazard ratio between groups 1 and 2. | 
| attrition | Attrition rate due to lost to follow-up. | 
| r | Length of patient accrual period. | 
| f | Maximum follow-up period. | 
| a1 | Sample allocation proportion for group 1. | 
Value
A dataframe with variables Chi2 Joint, Maximum Joint, Bonferroni methods. The first entry is the required number of cause-1 failures and the second entry is the required total number of patients.
