  <dc:title>Simulate, Evaluate, and Analyze Dose Finding Trials with
Bayesian MCPMod</dc:title>

  <dc:description>Bayesian MCPMod (Fleischer et al. (2022)
    &lt;doi:10.1002/pst.2193&gt;) is an innovative method that improves the
    traditional MCPMod by systematically incorporating historical data,
    such as previous placebo group data. This package offers functions
    for simulating, analyzing, and evaluating Bayesian MCPMod trials with
    normally and binary distributed endpoints. It enables the assessment of trial
    designs incorporating historical data across various true
    dose-response relationships and sample sizes. Robust mixture prior
    distributions, such as those derived with the Meta-Analytic-Predictive
    approach (Schmidli et al. (2014) &lt;doi:10.1111/biom.12242&gt;), can be
    specified for each dose group.  Resulting mixture posterior
    distributions are used in the Bayesian Multiple Comparison Procedure
    and modeling steps. The modeling step also includes a weighted model
    averaging approach (Pinheiro et al. (2014) &lt;doi:10.1002/sim.6052&gt;).
    Estimated dose-response relationships can be bootstrapped and
    visualized.</dc:description>
