factorial2x2

The goals of the factorial2x2 package are twofold: First, to provide power calculations for a two-by-two factorial design in which the effects of the two factors may be sub-additive. Power is provided for the overall effect test for as well as the multiple testing procedures described in Leifer, Troendle, Kolecki, and Follmann (2020). Second, to analyze two-by-two factorial trial data which may include baseline adjustment covariates. Further details are described in the factorial2x2 vignette.

Installation

You can install the released version of factorial2x2 from CRAN with:

install.packages("factorial2x2")

Example of a power calculation

We reproduce the power calculations for scenario 4 from Table 2 in Leifer, Troendle, et al. using the fac2x2design function.


  n <- 4600          # total sample size
  rateC <- 0.0445    # one year event rate in the control group
  hrA <- 0.80        # simple A effect hazard ratio
  hrB <- 0.80        # simple B effect hazard ratio
  hrAB <- 0.72       # simple AB effect hazard ratio
  mincens <- 4.0     # minimum censoring time in years
  maxcens <- 8.4     # maximum censoring time in years
  fac2x2design(n, rateC, hrA, hrB, hrAB, mincens, maxcens, dig = 2, alpha = 0.05)
