OptGS: Near-Optimal Group-Sequential Designs for Continuous Outcomes

Optimal group-sequential designs minimise some function of the expected and maximum sample size whilst controlling the type I error rate and power at a specified level. 'OptGS' provides functions to quickly search for near-optimal group-sequential designs for normally distributed outcomes. The methods used are described in Wason, JMS (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v066.i02>.
