Dear EM !

what I tried to explain is that your “shocking data” are due to the believe/assumption regarding the true R/T ratio. in the case of R/T=1, power based on the danish requirement increases as sample size increases but still requiring a larger sample size (IMHO) compared to the “usual requirement” for a given power.

A 2nd attempt to answer your question: yes; on the assumption of R/T=0.95 it will be rather difficult to find a sample size for a power of 80% (power does not monotonically increase with sample size) whereas on the assumption of R/T=1 you will find a sample size to show BE with a power of at least 80%.

best regards

martin
