Approximately Optimal One-Parameter Boundaries for Group Sequential Trials
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.

“The interim analysis on patients who achieved stable remission did not show superiority of esketamine and antidepressant over antidepressant and placebo (at a 2-sided significance level of .0097,log-rank test); therefore, the study continued, and the number of relapses in patients who achieved stable remission was reestimated to 59 relapses in total with an adjusted significance level of .046(2-s”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
