rpact version 3.0.0 available on CRAN

Wed Sep 9

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
