\title{Class PilotData}
\description{The \code{"\linkS4class{PilotData}"} class is a container class. It contains all necessary information of the pilot data for performing the power and sample size analysis.}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calling the function \code{\link{pilotData}}.
