Refactor `DesignOrdinal`
Opened this issue · 0 comments

Currently, DesignOrdinal
and RuleDesignOrdinal
require slot values that are subclasses of the ordinal variant of the corresponding binary rule. For example, the cohort_size
slot must contain an object of class CohortSizeOrdinal
. This forbids the use of rules based on different toxicity grades. For example,
The size of the next cohort will be the larger of the sizes defined by the following rules
- If no grade 1 toxicities have been reported then the cohort size is 1, otherwise it is 3.
- If no grade 2 toxicities have been reported, then the cohort size is one, otherwise it is 5.
This change can be supported by first implementing issue #855 and then overriding the slot classes in RuleDesignOrdinal
and modifying the validation of RuleDesignOrdinal
objects to ensure that slots relating to Rule
s ensure that the slot contains either
- an object of an ordinal-based
Rule
or - an object which is a
list
-basedRule
, each of whose elements is an object of an ordinal-basedRule
.
