ModelEff
is the parent class for efficacy models using pseudo data prior.
It is dedicated all efficacy models that have their prior specified in the
form of pseudo data (as if there is some data before the trial starts).
The data
must obey the convention of the DataDual
class. This refers to
any observed efficacy/biomarker responses (w
in DataDual
), the dose
levels at which these responses are observed (x
in DataDual
), all dose
levels considered in the study (doseGrid
in DataDual
), and finally
other specifications in DataDual
class that can be used to generate prior
or posterior modal estimates or samples estimates for model parameter(s).
If no responses are observed, at least doseGrid
has to be specified
in data
for which prior modal estimates or samples can be obtained for
model parameters based on the specified pseudo data.
