Increments
rules are used to define the set of doses that are eligible to be used in the next cohort.NextBest
rules then select which of these eligible doses should actually be used. Currently,Increments
rules exist to limit the set of eligible doses based on (relative) change from the current dose, the number of toxicities observed so far and other criteria. None, however, limit the set of eligible doses based on posterior probabilities of toxicity. (IncrementsHSRBeta
uses a beta-binomial model with a fixed prior that is independent of the current fit of the CRM model.)It would be useful to have such a rule. It should work both for the standard binary CRM as well as for the ordinal CRM. In the latter case, different probability limits for different toxicity grades should be permitted.
