Select dose by the CIBP selection criterion.
This method selects dose by the convex infinite bounds penalisation (CIBP) criterion of Mozgunov & Jaki. Their method is mindful of the uncertainty in the estimates of the probability of toxicity and uses an asymmetry parameter to penalise escalation to risky doses.

Object of type |
a |
Number between 0 and 2, the asymmetry parameter. See References. |

We seek a dose with this probability of toxicity. If not provided, the value will be sought from the parent dose-selector. |

# Let's compare escalation behaviour of a CRM model without CIBP criterion:
model1 <- get_dfcrm(skeleton = skeleton, target = target)
# To one with the CIBP criterion:
model2 <- get_dfcrm(skeleton = skeleton, target = target) %>%
select_dose_by_cibp(a = 0.3)
# Despite one-in-three tox at first dose, regular model is ready to escalate:
model1 %>% fit('1NTN') %>% recommended_dose()
# But the model using CIBP is more risk averse:
model2 %>% fit('1NTN') %>% recommended_dose()Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
