Dear Fabrice,

❝ The impact would become more relevant if both compounds have a ratio far from unity and/or high variability.


The impact is also relevant if you don't think extremes. Lets assume CV=0.2 for both ingredients and GMR=0.95 also for both. That gives:
Sample size n=20 with actual power = 0.834680 for each. That lets to an overall power (assuming independence) of only 0.6966907 ~ 70%.

We have to plan for a power of 90% to assure overall power around 80%, which gives n=26, a 30% increase. Not so small IMHO.

Regards,

Detlew

if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
