PDXpower - Time to Event Outcome in Experimental Designs of Pre-Clinical
Studies
Conduct simulation-based customized power calculation for
clustered time to event data in a mixed crossed/nested design,
where a number of cell lines and a number of mice within each
cell line are considered to achieve a desired statistical
power, motivated by Eckel-Passow and colleagues (2021)
<doi:10.1093/neuonc/noab137> and Li and colleagues (2025)
<doi:10.51387/25-NEJSDS76>. This package provides two commonly
used models for powering a design, linear mixed effects and Cox
frailty model. Both models account for within-subject (cell
line) correlation while holding different distributional
assumptions about the outcome. Alternatively, the counterparts
of fixed effects model are also available, which produces
similar estimates of statistical power.
