TwoPhaseInd: an R package for estimating gene–treatment interactions and discovering predictive markers in randomized clinical trials

Wang, Xiaoyu | Dai, James Y.
Summary: In randomized clinical trials, identifying baseline genetic or genomic markers for predicting subgroup treatment effects is of rising interest. Outcome-dependent sampling is often employed for measuring markers. The R package TwoPhaseInd implements a number of efficient statistical methods we developed for estimating subgroup treatment effects and gene–treatment interactions, exploiting the gene–treatment independence dictated by randomization, including the case-only estimator, the maximum estimated likelihood estimator and the semiparametric maximum likelihood estimator for parameters in a logistic model. For rare failure events subject to censoring, we have proposed efficient augmented case-only designs, a variation of the case–cohort design, to estimate genetic associations and subgroup treatment effects in a Cox regression model. The R package is computationally scalable to genome-wide studies, as illustrated by an example from Women’s Health Initiative. Availability and Implementation: The R package TwoPhaseInd is available from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages . Contact: [email protected]
