#   and having cohort of size 3 for doses >=30
mySize1 <- CohortSizeRange(intervals = c(0, 30),
                           cohortSize = c(1, 3))

# Here is the rule for: 
#   having cohort of size 1 until no DLT were observed
#   and having cohort of size 3 as soon as 1 DLT is observed
mySize2 <- CohortSizeDLT(DLTintervals=c(0, 1),
