\title{Empirically determine the operating characteristics of a single-stage
multi-arm clinical trial for a normally distributed primary outcome}
\usage{
sim_ss_norm(
  des = des_ss_norm(integer = TRUE),
  tau,
  replicates = 1e+05,
  summary = FALSE
)
}
\arguments{
\item{des}{A \code{\link{list}} of class \code{"multiarm_des_ss_norm"}, as
returned by \code{\link{build_ss_norm}} or \code{\link{des_ss_norm}} (i.e., a
single-stage multi-arm clinical trial design for a normally distributed
outcome). \strong{Note:} The sample sizes in all arms must be whole numbers.
Defaults to \code{des_ss_norm(integer = TRUE)}.}

\item{tau}{A \code{\link{matrix}} whose rows indicate values of
\ifelse{html}{\out{<b><i>&tau;</i></b>}}{\eqn{\bold{\tau}}} at which to
evaluate the operating characteristics. Defaults internally to the global
null, global alternative, and each of the least favourable configurations if
unspecified.}

\item{replicates}{A \code{\link{numeric}} indicating the number of replicate
simulations to use for each value of
\ifelse{html}{\out{<b><i>&tau;</i></b>}}{\eqn{\bold{\tau}}}. Defaults to
\code{1e5}.}

\item{summary}{A \code{\link{logical}} variable indicating whether a summary
of the function's progress should be printed to the console. Defaults to
\code{FALSE}.}
}
\value{
A \code{\link{list}} containing the following elements
\itemize{
\item A \code{\link{tibble}} in the slot \code{$sim} giving the estimated
operating characteristics.
\item Each of the input variables.
}
}
\description{
\code{sim_ss_norm()} determines the operating characteristics of a specified
single-stage multi-arm clinical trial design assuming the primary outcome is
normally distributed, for given values of the true treatment effects, using
simulation.
}
\examples{
\dontrun{
# The estimated operating characteristics for the default parameters
sim   <- sim_ss_norm()
# An A-optimal design, specifying tau explicitly
des_A <- des_ss_norm(ratio = "A", integer = T)
sim_A <- sim_ss_norm(des_A, rbind(c(0, 0),
                                  c(0.5, 0.5),
                                  c(0.5, 0),
                                  c(0, 0.5)))
