Title

est_fixed -- Determine point estimates in a single-stage single-arm
trial design for a single binary endpoint

Syntax

est_fixed
[,
options]

Main
n(#) Sample size of the considered design. Defaults to 25.

pi(numlist) Numlist of response probabilities to evaluate the expected performance of the point estimation procedures at. This will internally default to 0,0.01,...,1.

summary(#) An integer indicating whether a summary of the function's progress should be printed (summary = 1) to the console. Defaults to 0.

plot Indicates that the RMSE curve of the estimation procedure should be plotted.

* Additional options to use during plotting.

Description

Determines all possible point estimates (the MLEs) at the end of a single-stage
single-arm trial for a single binary endpoint, as determined using des_fixed.

In addition, the performance of the point estimation procedure (including its
expected value, bias, and variance) for each value of pi in the supplied numlist
pi, will also be evaluated.
