Issue with uneven number of samples in groups

lindauer1980 opened this issue · comments

Hi, I have an issue when trying to set-up a design with 2 groups and multiple responses (3).

sampling.times.full <- c(0,671.5,2015.5,2024,2028,2032,2040,2064,2088,2112,2184,4416,6432,8732) # full sampling group
N.full <- Nfull# number of subjects in the full sampling group
sampling.times.sparse <- c(0,671.5,2064,4416,6432,8732) # sparse sampling group
N.sparse <- 100-Nfull # number of subjects in the sparse group

create_design(

  • groupsize=c(N.full,N.sparse),
  • m=2, #number of groups
  • xt=list(rep(sampling.times.full,3),
  •       rep(sampling.times.sparse,3)),
    
  • model_switch = list(sort(rep(c(1,2,3),length(sampling.times.full))),
  •                   sort(rep(c(1,2,3),length(sampling.times.sparse))))
    
  • )
    Error in test_mat_size(size(xt), model_switch, "model_switch") :
    model_switch has dimensions 2x2 and should be 2x42

If for the purpose of testing I remove 'model_switch' (i.e. default), and run create.poped.database I get the following error:

Error in if (mat[i, j] == 0) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards, Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

I have a hole in the poped code where model_switch, when entered as a list, is not transformed to the needed matrix format. I have added a fix to the latest version of the development version of PopED. If you don't want to upgrade, then a simple fix is the following:

library(PopED)

Nfull <- 20
sampling.times.full <- c(0,671.5,2015.5,2024,2028,2032,2040,2064,2088,2112,2184,4416,6432,8732) # full sampling group
N.full <- Nfull# number of subjects in the full sampling group
sampling.times.sparse <- c(0,671.5,2064,4416,6432,8732) # sparse sampling group
N.sparse <- 100-Nfull # number of subjects in the sparse group

# fix by making model_switch a matrix before adding to function argument
model_switch = list(sort(rep(c(1,2,3),length(sampling.times.full))),
                    sort(rep(c(1,2,3),length(sampling.times.sparse))))

model_switch <- t(sapply(model_switch,'[',seq(max(sapply(model_switch,length)))))

create_design(
  groupsize=c(N.full,N.sparse),
  xt=list(rep(sampling.times.full,3),
          rep(sampling.times.sparse,3)),
  model_switch = model_switch
) 

Best regards,
Andy

Thank you Andy for your swift reply,

While the code to convert the model_switch from list to matrix works, running create.poped.database gives the following error:

Error in if (mat[i, j] == 0) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

Both the xt and the model_switch objects contain NAs for the 'missing' timepoints in the second group, may this cause the error ?

Regards, Andreas.

Hi

This will not cause an error. Can you send code? How are you using create.poped.database?

Best regards,
Andy

All works well if the xt and model_switch are of the same size without NAs

Thanks.

Since I can't share more details on my model, I have adapted one of your PKPD examples to reproduce the error. Hope it helps:

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for your inconvenience.

This is a bug that has to do with PopED checking if the range of possible sample times includes zero. If so, then the default is to move that range slightly away from zero, since in PK studies, zero observations give no information. I have fixed the bug in the development version. To fix in the current version I suggest using the ourzero=NULL option in create.poped.database.

Best Regards
Andy

By the way... if you use the ourzero=NULL option then you need to be more careful about the choice of the maximum and minimum allowed values of your design parameters (make sure they do not produce no information). In the next release version I will have a more transparent way of dealing with this issue.

Thank you Andy, and sorry for continuing to bother you... when I try to generate prediction from the above code I get the following:

> plot_model_prediction(poped.db)
Error in seq.default(minv, maxv, length.out = model_num_points[j]) : 
  'from' cannot be NA, NaN or infinite
> model_prediction(poped.db)
Error in if (!all(models_to_use == unique(as.vector(model_switch[used_times ==  : 
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

How can I fix this ?

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for all your problems (all my fault!). I think the easiest way to go is to define the xt parameter and the model switch parameter as matrices that have dimensions of rows=(# of groups) and cols=(max number of observations in any group). Make the points that were previously NA be any number you like. You can the set the number of observations per group explicitly with the niargument (see below). All this is fixed in the development release, so if you want to try you can install that using

devtools::install_github("andrewhooker/PopED")

Otherwise, see my code below:
