Dear all,
I am trying to implement the work done by Suyu Liu, “A Bayesian Phase I/II Trial Design for Immunotherapy”, using R, since the code attached with that work takes a lot of time (more than 20 hours, and the code not complete). So that I tried to use trialr package since it used rstan, but this package allowed me to use two outcomes ( toxicity, efficacy ) and the work of Liu used three outcomes (immune response, toxicity, and efficacy).
I tried to use the R package trialr for two outcomes using the utility for sensitivity analysis written in R code below (table 1 in the article), I want to see if I used the correct utility and to see how to add a third outcome ( immune response ) to the model. I attached to you the code and the output if you know how he produced the results, I hope you can feed me back.
and thanks in advance.
