TrialSimulator 1.0.0

Update

• Fix issues to meet CRAN submission conditions.

TrialSimulator 0.97.0

Bug Fix

• Fix a bug in function event_plot() for plot of cumulative events number when endpoint name is "ep". This is due to data masking in dplyr.
• Fix issues in unit tests caused by new dropout mechanisum.
• use Bonferroni method in unit test of update_sample_ratio. This test is probably broken by randomness (it is okay).

TrialSimulator 0.96.0

Update

• Update mechanism of simulating dropout time. Switching from trial level to patient level, i.e. dropout time is now the time from a patient is enrolled until leaving a trial. This aligns with common practice and popular softwares.

TrialSimulator 0.94.0

New Feature

• Add function summarizeMilestoneTime and its plot method to summarize triggering time of milestones.
