Hi Antigoni,

❝ Many thanks dear Helmut!

Welcome.
See also the function sample.size.adj() in this article. It implements our method^1,2 and a more conservative one.^3,4
Of course, such a conservatism comes with a price. The sample sizes can be prohibitively large.

Assuming the ‘worst case’ \(\small{CV_\text{wR}=30\%}\) – irrespective of the observed \(\small{CV_\text{wR}}\) because the maximum inflation of the Type I Error is always at the switching \(\small{CV_\text{wR}=30\%}\) regardless the design and sample size.
