type I error rate of a GSD

Description

typeIerr is a function that computes the type I error rate of a GSD.

Usage

typeIerr(GSD)

Arguments

GSD

object of the class GSTobj or list with the following elements: K = number of stages, a = vector with futility boundaries (not supported yet), b = rejection boundaries, t = vector with information fractions; see example blow.

Value
