Hi Helmut,

❝ • At least 24 subjects should be enrolled

❝ • Reference replicate data analyzed for determination of σ_wr

❝ • If σ_wr < σ_w0 then data analyzed using unscaled average BE method

❝ • If σ_wr ≥ σ_w0 then data analyzed using scaled average BE and point-estimate criteria

❝ (my emphasis)

❝ Fascinating: Scaled BE limits given on slide 20. ;-)

❝

❝ Also interesting that in none of the API-specific guidances (first one progesterone, April 2010) a minimum sample size is mentioned.

"24 should be enrolled", so they want us to start with 24 but not necessary finish with 24. This # concur with Endrenyi et al's sample size article of n=24 at CV=30% with Ratio = 0.95 or 1.05 → 80% power.

Thanks
John
