Clinical-Trial-Simulator

This application can be run as a Shiny app or locally in the R shell. Data is generated and stored in ./ReplicateData/ and can be visualized by functions from the app within the shell or through the Shiny app.

To run the app:

1. Start an R session and set the working directory to the directory containing the trial.r file.

2. In the R session enter:

   > source('./trial.r')

3. Enter

> runtrial()

4. You should find the data generated in ./ReplicateData/

5. Then enter:

> getDensities()

to get an overview on the distributions of responses depending on doses.

7. Enter:

> getBoxplots()

to get a boxplot overview of the simulated data.

8. Enter:

> library(shiny)
> runApp()

to open the app in the browser.

You may of course skip steps 2) - 7) if you just want to use the Shiny app.
