[R] [R-pkgs] simtrial: Clinical Trial Simulation

2023-12-13 Thread Nan Xiao
Dear all,

I am happy to announce that {simtrial} is now on CRAN 
(https://cran.r-project.org/package=simtrial). simtrial is a fast and 
extensible clinical trial simulation framework for time-to-event endpoints.

This release brings a new tabular data processing engine powered by data.table 
for 3x to 5x faster simulations, a new parallelization adaptor with %dofuture%, 
a refreshed API that aligns with the gsDesign2 style guide, and new functions 
for zero early weight and analysis date. For a summary of the updates, please 
see the announcement: https://keaven.github.io/blog/simtrial-0-3-2/.

I hope you find simtrial helpful. Please feel free to reach out with feedback 
or questions.

Best regards,
-Nan

[R] [R-pkgs] gsDesign 3.6.0 is released

2023-11-21 Thread Nan Xiao
Dear all,

I'm excited to announce that a new version of gsDesign (3.6.0) is now on CRAN 
(https://cran.r-project.org/package=gsDesign). gsDesign supports group 
sequential clinical trial design, largely as presented in Jennison and Turnbull 
(2000).

The 3.6.0 update introduces some significant new features and enhancements:

- New gsSurvCalendar() function to enable group sequential design for 
time-to-event outcomes using calendar timing of interim analysis specification.
- toInteger() and print.gsSurv() improvements for integer sample size and event 
count.
- toBinomialExact() and gsBinomialExact() now have improved error checking in 
bound computations, error messages, and documentation.
- New as_rtf() method for gsBinomialExact() objects to support RTF table 
outputs.

We have also updated the gsDesign Shiny app to 2023.11.0. This version supports 
the new key features added in gsDesign 3.5.0 and 3.6.0.

For the complete list of updates, please see the announcement: 
https://keaven.github.io/blog/gsdesign-3-6-0/.

Best regards,
-Nan

[R] [R-pkgs] gsDesign2 1.0.8 is released

2023-05-02 Thread Nan Xiao
Dear all,

A new version of gsDesign2 (1.0.8) is now on CRAN 
(https://cran.r-project.org/package=gsDesign2). gsDesign2 enables fixed or 
group sequential design under non-proportional hazards and supports highly 
flexible enrollment, time-to-event, and time-to-dropout assumptions.

The key improvements in this version include refined naming conventions for 
options in the info_scale argument adhering to the tidyverse design guide, and 
bug fixes for computing the futility bounds. Please see the changelog 
(https://merck.github.io/gsDesign2/news/) for details.

As the gsDesign2 package is still in its early stages, we're eager to continue 
refining its features and performance. We invite you to try out this new 
version and share your insights with us. Your feedback is invaluable in helping 
us develop a tool that meets the evolving needs of users.

Cheers,
-Nan

[R] [R-pkgs] OHPL - new package for group variable selection

2017-08-15 Thread Nan Xiao
Dear useRs,

- I am pleased to announce that the R package OHPL is now available on
CRAN (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=OHPL).

The package implements the ordered homogeneity pursuit lasso (OHPL)
algorithm for group variable selection proposed in Lin et al. (2017)
. The OHPL method exploits the
homogeneity structure in high-dimensional data and enjoys the grouping
effect to select groups of important variables automatically. This
feature makes it particularly useful for high-dimensional datasets with
strongly correlated variables, such as spectroscopic data.

For more information, please see https://OHPL.io.

Cheers,
-Nan
