grouprar - Group Response Adaptive Randomization for Clinical Trials

Implement group response-adaptive randomization procedures, which also integrates standard non-group response-adaptive randomization methods as specialized instances. It is also uniquely capable of managing complex scenarios, including those with delayed and missing responses, thereby expanding its utility in real-world applications. This package offers 16 functions for simulating a variety of response adaptive randomization procedures. These functions are essential for guiding the selection of statistical methods in clinical trials, providing a flexible and effective approach to trial design. Some of the detailed methodologies and algorithms used in this package, please refer to the following references: LJ Wei (1979) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176344614> L. J. WEI and S.
