Overview

About

Maintained by John KirkpatrickFirst published 2022-10-274 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements Mander & Thompson's (2010) doi:10.1016/j.cct.2010.07.008 methods for two-stage designs optimal under the alternative hypothesis for phase II [cancer] trials. Also provides an implementation of Simon's (1989) doi:10.1016/0197-2456(89)90015-9 original methodology and allows exploration of the operating characteristics of sub-optimal designs.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mtdesign

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-mtdesign

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-mtdesign

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
