This release updates some Stan code that was generating C++ code that would compile on Linux, Mac & Windows, but not Solaris.
This release adds the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) for dose-finding. Four model variants are currently given: - empiric likelihood with normal prior on slope; - logistic likelihood with constant intercept and normal prior on slope; - logistic likelihood with constant intercept and gamma prior on slope; - logistic likelihood with normal priors on the intercept and slope.
This release also adds general model-fitting functions stan_crm and stan_efftox. It also adds S3 classes crm_fit and efftox_fit with the expected generic methods.
Unit tests have been added.
First release with implementations of: - Thall & Cook’s EffTox dose-finding clinical trial design; - Thall et al.’s hierarchical Bayesian phase II design for diseases with multiple subtypes - Brock et al.’s BEBOP design for efficacy and toxicity outcomes in phase II where predictive information
