  <dc:title>Response-Adaptive Randomization in Clinical Trials</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package RARtrials version 0.0.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Some response-adaptive randomization methods commonly found in literature are included in this package. These methods include the randomized play-the-winner rule for binary endpoint (Wei and Durham (1978) &lt;doi:10.2307/2286290&gt;), the doubly adaptive biased coin design with minimal variance strategy for binary endpoint (Atkinson and Biswas (2013) &lt;doi:10.1201/b16101&gt;, Rosenberger and Lachin (2015) &lt;doi:10.1002/9781118742112&gt;) and maximal power strategy targeting Neyman allocation for binary endpoint (Tymofyeyev, Rosenberger, and Hu (2007) &lt;doi:10.1198/016214506000000906&gt;) and RSIHR allocation with each letter representing the first character of the names of the individuals who first proposed this rule (Youngsook and Hu (2010) &lt;doi:10.1198/sbr.2009.0056&gt;, Bello and Sabo (2016) &lt;doi:10.1080/00949655.2015.1114116&gt;), A-optimal Allocation for continuous endpoint (Sverdlov and Rosenberger (2013) &lt;doi:10.1080/15598608.2013.783726&gt;), Aa-optimal Allocation for continuous endpoint (Sverdlov and Rosenberger (2013) &lt;doi:10.1080/15598608.2013.783726&gt;), generalized RSIHR allocation for continuous endpoint (Atkinson and Biswas (2013) &lt;doi:10.1201/b16101&gt;), Bayesian response-adaptive randomization with a control group using the Thall \&amp; Wathen method for binary and continuous endpoints (Thall and Wathen (2007) &lt;doi:10.1016/j.ejca.2007.01.006&gt;) and the forward-looking Gittins index rule for binary and continuous endpoints (Villar, Wason, and Bowden (2015) &lt;doi:10.1111/biom.12337&gt;, Williamson and Villar (2019) &lt;doi:10.1111/biom.13119&gt;).</dc:description>
