getSimulationCounts() can be used to
perform power simulations for clinical trials with negative binomial
distributed count data. The function returns the simulated power,
stopping probabilities, conditional power, and expected sample size for
testing mean rates for negative binomial distributed event numbers in
the two treatment groups testing situation.getDesignGroupSequential(),
getDesignInverseNormal(), and
getDesignFisher() now support the argument
directionUpper to specify the direction of the alternative
for one-sided testing early at the design phase, see enhancement #26getSampleSizeCounts() and getPowerCounts()
output boundary values also on the treatment effect scale, see
enhancement #40fetch() and obtain() functions can be
used to extract multiple parameters from an rpact result object and
support various output formatskable() for rpact result objects marked
as deprecated, as the formatting and display will be handled
automatically by rpactggplot2 changed

sample size recalculation rules to the setting of binary endpoints
according to Bokelmann et
al. (2024)getSimulationMultiArmMeans(),
getSimulationMultiArmRates(), and
getSimulationMultiArmSurvival() functions now support an
enhanced selectArmsFunction argument. Previously, only
effectVector and stage were allowed as
arguments. Now, users can optionally utilize additional arguments for
more powerful custom function implementations, including
conditionalPower, conditionalCriticalValue,
plannedSubjects/plannedEvents,
allocationRatioPlanned, selectedArms,
thetaH1 (for means and survival), stDevH1 (for
means), overallEffects, and for rates additionally:
piTreatmentsH1, piControlH1,
overallRates, and overallRatesControl.getSimulationEnrichmentMeans(),
getSimulationEnrichmentRates(), and
getSimulationEnrichmentSurvival(). Specifically, support
for population selection with selectPopulationsFunction
argument based on predictive/posterior probabilities added (see #32)fetch() and obtain() functions can be
used to extract a single parameter from an rpact result object, which is
useful for writing pipe-operator linked commands.parameterNames and
.parameterFormatFunctions were removed from all rpact

getPowerCounts() can be used to perform sample size
calculations and the assessment of test characteristics for clinical
trials with negative binomial distributed count data. This is possible
for fixed sample size and group sequential designs. For the latter, the
methodology described in Muetze et al. (2019) is implemented. These
functions can also be used to perform blinded sample size reassessments
according to Friede and Schmidli (2010).mvnprd, mvstud,
as251Normal, and as251StudentTmnormt dependency has been removedtheta can be used for plotting of sample size
