Test for Equivalence in Multiple-Sample William Design

Description

Compare more than two treatment under a crossover design.

H0: |margin| ≥ δ Ha: |margin| < δ

This test is whether the test drug is equivalent to the control in average if the null hypothesis is rejected at significant level alpha

Usage

MeanWilliamsDesign.Equivalence(alpha, beta, sigma, k, delta, margin)

Arguments

alpha

significance level

beta

power = 1-beta

sigma

standard deviation

k

Total k treatments in the design

delta

margin

margin=μ_i-μ_j the difference between the true mean response of group i μ_i and group j μ_j
