  <dc:title>Group Sequential Design with Non-Constant Effect</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package gsDesign2 version 1.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The goal of 'gsDesign2' is to enable fixed or group sequential
    design under non-proportional hazards. To enable highly flexible enrollment,
    time-to-event and time-to-dropout assumptions, 'gsDesign2' offers piecewise
    constant enrollment, failure rates, and dropout rates for a stratified
    population. This package includes three methods for designs:
    average hazard ratio, weighted logrank tests in Yung and Liu (2019)
    &lt;doi:10.1111/biom.13196&gt;, and MaxCombo tests.
    Substantial flexibility on top of what is in the 'gsDesign' package
    is intended for selecting boundaries.</dc:description>
