##' Simulate Bayesian Sequential Treatment Comparisons Using a Gaussian Model
##'
##' Simulate a sequential trial under a Gaussian model for parameter estimates, and Gaussian priors using simulated estimates and variances returned by `estSeqSim`.  For each row of the data frame `est` and for each prior/assertion combination, computes the posterior probability of the assertion.
##' @title gbayesSeqSim
##' @param est data frame created by `estSeqSim()`
##' @param asserts list of lists.  The first element of each list is the user-specified name for each assertion/prior combination, e.g., `"efficacy"`.  The other elements are, in order, a character string equal to "<", ">", or "in", a parameter value `cutoff` (for "<" and ">") or a 2-vector specifying an interval for "in", and either a prior distribution mean and standard deviation named `mu` and `sigma` respectively, or a parameter value (`"cutprior"`) and tail area `"tailprob"`.  If the latter is used, `mu` is assumed to be zero and `sigma` is solved for such that P(parameter > 'cutprior') = P(parameter < - 'cutprior') = `tailprob`.
##' @return a data frame with number of rows equal to that of `est` with a number of new columns equal to the number of assertions added.  The new columns are named `p1`, `p2`, `p3`, ... (posterior probabilities), `mean1`, `mean2`, ... (posterior means), and `sd1`, `sd2`, ... (posterior standard deviations).  The returned data frame also has an attribute `asserts` added which is the original `asserts` augmented with any derived `mu` and `sigma` and converted to a data frame, and another attribute `alabels` which is a named vector used to map `p1`, `p2`, ... to the user-provided labels in `asserts`.

##' Simulate Comparisons For Use in Sequential Clinical Trial Simulations
##'
##' Simulates sequential clinical trials.  Looks are done sequentially at observation numbers given in the vector `looks` with the earliest possible look being at observation 2.  For each true effect parameter value, simulation, and at each look, runs a function to compute the estimate of the parameter of interest along with its variance.  For each simulation, data are first simulated for the last look, and these data are sequentially revealed for earlier looks.  The user provides a function `gendat` that given a true effect of `parameter` and the two sample sizes (for treatment groups 1 and 2) returns a list with vectors `y1` and `y2` containing simulated data.  The user also provides a function `fitter` with arguments `x` (group indicator 0/1) and `y` (response variable) that returns a 2-vector containing the effect estimate and its variance.  `parameter` is usually on the scale of a regression coefficient, e.g., a log odds ratio.
