Tables A4-A6. Impact of α0 and ω on the operating characteristics for scenarios S13 to S24. These tables describe the impact of α0 and ω on the operating characteristics for scenarios S13 to S16 (Table A4), when historical and new control arm are commensurate, for scenarios S17 to S20 (Table A5), when there is a negative prior-data conflict, and for scenarios S21 to S24 (Table A6), when there is a positive prior-data conflict. A piecewise exponential distribution with 3 pieces is used to generate and analyse historical and new data, and σ H 2 $$ {\upsigma}_{\mathrm{H}}^2 $$ is equivalent to 329 events. (PDF 483 kb)
