Social Representation Theory Application: The Free Evocation of
Words Technique
Gabriel Henrique Oliveira Assuncao <gabrielhenryoliver@hotmail.com>
Using The Free Evocation of Words Technique method with some functions, this package will make a
social representation and other analysis. The Free Evocation of Words Technique consists of collecting a number of words evoked by a subject facing exposure to an inducer term. The purpose of this technique is to understand the relationships created between words evoked by the individual and the inducer term. This technique is included in the theory of social representations, therefore, on the information transmitted by an individual, seeks to create a profile that define a social group.

The target equivalence range (TEQR) design is a
frequentist implementation of the modified toxicity probability
interval (mTPI) design and a competitor to the standard 3+3
design (3+3).  The 3+3 is the work horse design in Phase I. It
is good at determining if a safe dose exits, but provides poor
accuracy and precision in estimating the level of toxicity at
the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).  The TEQR is better than the
3+3 when compared on: 1) the number of times the dose at or
nearest the target toxicity level was selected as the MTD, 2)
the number of subjects assigned to doses levels, at or nearest
the MTD, and 3) the overall trial DLT rate. TEQR more
accurately and more precisely estimates the rate of toxicity at
the MTD because a larger number of subjects are studied at the
MTD dose. The TEQR on average uses fewer subjects and provide
reasonably comparable results to the continual reassessment
method (CRM) in the number of times the dose at or nearest the
target toxicity level was selected as the MTD and the number of
subjects assigned doses, at, or nearest the target and in
overall DLT rate.

The target equivalence range (TEQR) design, previously named the toxicity equivalence range design is an up-down design patterned after the modified toxicity probability interval design.The TEQR design extends the well known 3+3 design to allow for: an explicit target range for the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate, more subjects at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and specification of a too-toxic rate, which closes a dose level, In addition, the TEQR design can be implemented to target a dose based either on toxicity rate or activity rate constrained for toxicity.
