CreateProject

Created an R Studio project with example files to simulate a platform trial utilizing the OCTOPUS package.

CreateProject(
  strProjectDirectory = "",
  strProjectName = "NewProject",
  strAnalysisName = "NewAnalysisName",
  strSimPatientOutcomeName = "NewSimOutcomeName",
  strBorrowing = "NoBorrowing",
  nQtyReps = 10,
  mQtyPatientsPerArm = NULL,
  dQtyMonthsFU = 1,
  vISAStartTimes = NULL,
  bCreateProjectSubdirectory = TRUE
)

Arguments

strProjectDirectory	The complete path to where the project is created. If a complete path is not provided then the directory is relative to the working directory. If this is left blank, the current working directory is used.
strProjectName	The name of the project. A directory with the name strProjectName is created in strProjectDirectory if bCreateProjectSubdirectory = TRUE
strAnalysisName	The name of the analysis that should be done. If the analysis is part of OCTOPUS, then no new files are created. If the analysis is new, a file named RunAnalysis.strAnalysisName.R is created.
strSimPatientOutcomeName	The name of the patient simulator that should be utilized. If the patient simulator is part of OCTOPUS, then no new files are created. If the patient simulator is new, a file named SimPatientOutocmes.strSimPatientOutcomeName.R is created.
strBorrowing	Specify the option for sharing control patients across ISAs. If strBorrowing = "NoBorrowing" then patients are not shared between ISAs. If strBorrowing = "AllControls" then all control patients are included in the data set that is sent to the RunAnalysis funciton.
nQtyReps	The number of replications to simulate for each scenario.
mQtyPatientsPerArm	Matrix with 2 or more columns to define the number of patients per arm on each ISA. Each row represents an ISA and column 1 the number of patients on control/placebo and column 2,... the number of patients on the treatment arms in the ISA. Each ISA must have the same number of arms (a control or placbo and treatment arms(s) ). This option can be chnaged once the project is created by modifing the SetupTrialDesign file. If this parameter is NULL you will need to change the options in the BuildMe.R file that is created as part of the project.
dQtyMonthsFU	The number of months of follow-up the last patient before running the final analysis (FA). By default, the design created only includes a final analysis with NO interim analysis. To use another option please see the TrialDesign.R file in the projected that is created.
bCreateProjectSubdirectory	If TRUE the a subdirectory with the project name will be created, if FALSE then the project is created in strProjectDirectory.
