rpact 4.0.0

New features

  • All reference classes in the package have been replaced by R6 classes. This change brings significant advantages, including improved performance, more flexible and cleaner object-oriented programming, and enhanced encapsulation of methods and properties. The transition to R6 classes allows for more efficient memory management and faster execution, making the package more robust and scalable. Additionally, R6 classes provide a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for developers, facilitating the creation and maintenance of complex data structures and workflows

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
