Vignettes

Developed for practical use: below you find a collection of practical examples and use-cases, the so-called rpact vignettes.

In addition to these public open access vignettes, our RPACT SLA customers have access to exclusive vignettes on special topics such as the analysis of multi-stage data with covariates from raw data.

2 Designing Group Sequential Trials with Two Groups and a Continuous Endpoint with rpact Planning Continuous

This R Markdown document provides examples for designing trials with continuous endpoints using rpact.

26 Delayed Response Designs with rpact Planning Categorical, Continuous, Survival

This R Markdown document provides a brief introduction to group sequential designs with delayed responses as proposed by Hampson and Jennison (2013). It is shown how this is implemented in rpact. Examples for designing trials with delayed responses using the software are provided. We also describe an alternative approach that directly uses the α-spending approach to derive the decision boundaries.

12 Supplementing and Enhancing rpact’s Graphical Capabilities with ggplot2 Planning Continuous

The aim of this R Markdown document is to give a brief description on how easy it is to supplement and enhance plots generated in rpact by use of the ggplot2 package and associated language.

20 Simulating Multi-Arm Designs with a Continuous Endpoint using rpact Planning Continuous

This R Markdown document provides examples for simulating multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) designs for testing means with rpact.

16 Simulation of a Trial with a Binary Endpoint and Unblinded Sample Size Re-Calculation with rpact Planning Categorical

This R Markdown document provides examples for assessing trials with adaptive sample size re-calculation (SSR) using rpact. It also shows how to implement the promizing zone approach as proposed by Mehta and Pocock 2011 and further developed by Hsiao et al 2019 with rpact.

7 Analysis of a Group Sequential Trial with a Survival Endpoint using rpact Analysis Survival

This R Markdown document provides examples how to analyse a survival trial and provide inference throughout and at the end of the trial with rpact.

13 Using the Inverse Normal Combination Test for Analysing a Trial with Continuous Endpoint and Potential Sample Size Re-Assessment with rpact Analysis Continuous

This R Markdown document provides an example for analysing trials with a continuous endpoint and sample size reassessment using rpact.

21 Analysis of a Multi-Arm Design with a Binary Endpoint using rpact Analysis Categorical

This R Markdown document shows how to analyse and interpret multi-arm designs for testing proportions with rpact.

17 How to Create Summaries with rpact Utilities Categorical, Continuous, Survival

This R Markdown document provides many different examples that illustrate the usage of the R generic function summary with rpact. This is a technical vignette and is to be considered mainly as a comprehensive overview of the possible summaries in rpact.

9 How to use R Generics with rpact Utilities Categorical, Continuous, Survival

This R Markdown document provides many different examples that illustrate the usage of so-called R generic functions (short: R generics) with rpact, e.g., as.data.frame or summary.
