# S4 method for PseudoDualSimulations
summary(
  object,
  trueDLE,
  trueEff,

Arguments

object

the PseudoDualSimulations object we want to summarize

trueDLE

a function which takes as input a dose (vector) and returns the true probability (vector) of DLE

trueEff

a function which takes as input a dose (vector) and returns the mean efficacy value(s) (vector).

targetEndOfTrial

the target probability of DLE that are used at the end of a trial. Default at 0.3.

targetDuringTrial

the target probability of DLE that are used during the trial. Default at 0.35.

...

Additional arguments can be supplied here for trueDLE and trueEff

Value
