Dear Astea, dear Helmut,

❝ ❝ I suspect TIE will be also inflated in studies of NTDs also (by using FDA approach or by using different confidence limits for two metrics).

❝

❝ Might well be.

There is no reason to speculate. Fire up the all-in-one device suitable for every purpose PowerTOST :cool:

and use function power.NTIDFDA().

Try this (for the homoscedastic case swR=swT):

library(PowerTOST)

# number of subjects

n <- 12

design <- "2x2x4"

# theta is the reguatory constant for widening/shrinking the acceptance limits

# (see Warfarin guidance, but note: the theta there is theta^2)

theta <- -(log(0.9)/0.1)

# function to obtain the upper limit of the implied acceptance range

UL <- function(CV, theta){

  upper <- exp(theta* CV2se(CV))

  if (upper>1.25) upper <- 1.25

  upper

}



CVs <- seq(0.03, 0.4, by=0.01)

# reserve memory

GMR <- vector("numeric", length= length(CVs))

TIE <- vector("numeric", length= length(CVs))

ns  <- vector("numeric", length= length(CVs))



for (i in seq_along(CVs)){

  GMR[i] <- UL(CVs[i], theta)

  ns[i]  <- n

  # instead of a constant n we may use n obtained via sampleN.NTIDFDA()

  # then uncomment next line

  # ns[i]  <- sampleN.NTIDFDA(CV=CVs[i], print=FALSE, details=FALSE)[["Sample size"]]

  TIE[i] <- power.NTIDFDA(CV=CVs[i], theta0 = GMR[i], n=n, design=design, nsims=1E6)

}

print(data.frame(CV=CVs, GMR=GMR, n=ns, TIE=TIE), row.names=FALSE)

With n=12 we get:

Indeed a small alpha-inflation at low CVs'.
If we were Potvin-adepts this is a negligible alpha inflation, namely below 0.052.
