Note: The operating characteristics are given under the global null (where the Power corresponds to the type I error rate) and several alternative hypotheses. For the adaptive designs the probabilities of the interim decisions futility stop, full enrichment, partial enrichment and the average sample numbers (across both stages) are given. For all designs the power to reject F and the power to reject S only are reported. Note that the power to reject any null hypothesis is given by the sum of the two.
