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
