Overview

About

Maintained by Xiaodong LuoCRAN page ↗

It is often challenging to strongly control the family-wise type-1 error rate in the group-sequential trials with multiple endpoints (hypotheses). The inflation of type-1 error rate comes from two sources (S1) repeated testing individual hypothesis and (S2) simultaneous testing multiple hypotheses. The 'MultiGroupSequential' package is intended to help researchers to tackle this challenge. The procedures provided include the sequential procedures described in Luo and Quan (2023) doi:10.1080/19466315.2023.2191989 and the graphical procedure proposed by Maurer and Bretz (2013) doi:10.1080/19466315.2013.807748. Luo and Quan (2013) describes three procedures, and the functions to implement these procedures are (1) seqgspgx() implements a sequential graphical procedure based on the group-sequential p-values; (2) seqgsphh() implements a sequential Hochberg/Hommel procedure based on the group-sequential p-values; and (3) seqqvalhh() implements a sequential Hochberg/Hommel procedure based on the q-values. In addition, seqmbgx() implements the sequential graphical procedure described in Maurer and Bretz (2013).

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("MultiGroupSequential", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-multigroupsequential

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-MultiGroupSequential

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-MultiGroupSequential

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
