Approximately optimal one-parameter boundaries for group sequential trials

Biometrics. 1987 Mar;43(1):193-9.

Abstract

We present a class of group sequential tests, indexed by a single parameter, that yields approximately optimal results. We also provide tables of key values to help in the design of group sequential tests that meet selected specifications.
