❝ Crazy. I guess you planned (!) for power of ≥80% and suffered from one of the followings (or any combination thereof)?

  1. CVintra higher than expected,

  2. higher drop-out rate than anticipated,

  3. T/R deviating more from 1 than expected.


During a pilot study, we obtained intra-subject CV about half of what is now published, so this authority basically is saying that we underpowered the study because the CV we obtained is not possible. Having read your presentation, I can see why pilot info isn't all that great for sample size estimation. Day 210 is tomorrow, so we'll likely get referred to CMD. Will keep you posted.

Thank you both.

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
