pt-accessors function

Preference trial parameter accessors

Accessor function have been created to get the sample size (sample_size), power (power), effect size (effect_size), arm proportion (proportion), significance (significance), and trial variance estimates (sigma2) for a set of preference trials.

Note that these methods are preferred over accessing the underlying data frame directly since the structure is slightly non-standard (some columns are lists) and some values, like power, are not stored directly. methods

sample_size(x)

## S3 method for class 'preference.trial'
sample_size(x)

power(x)

## S3 method for class 'preference.trial'
power(x)

effect_size(x)

## S3 method for class 'preference.trial'
effect_size(x)

proportion(x)

## S3 method for class 'preference.trial'
proportion(x)

significance(x)

## S3 method for class 'preference.trial'
significance(x)

sigma2(x)

## S3 method for class 'preference.trial'
sigma2(x)

Arguments

• x: the set of preference trials.

Examples

# Create a set of trials with a sequence of preference effects.
trials <- preference.trial(pref_ss=100, pref_effect=seq(0.1, 2, by=0.5), 
                           selection_ss=100, selection_effect=1, 
                           treatment_ss=100, treatment_effect=1, sigma2=1, 
                           pref_prop=0.6)
