Dear Detlew!

❝ ❝ ... In the meantime I finished my balanced cross-over sim’s. n 12–60, CV 6–100%. With my grid I have 306·10⁶ sim’s each. With rounding I got 24 (7.84%) empiric alphas significantly >0.05; without 11 (3.59%).

❝

❝ How do you interpret the un-rounded results?

The jury is out. I ran two sim’s with identical seeds to compare the results. Nice intermediate result files (33.1MB unrounded, 14MB rounded). Have to find a clever way to filter for the suspects.

❝ Empirical evidence of an Alpha inflation of TOST :cool: ?

❝ Hopefully not.

Don’t think so. On the other hand it puts occasional significant alphas I got in Methods B/C/D into perspective.

Sim’s are sim’s are sim’s.

It’s like with lab values. The more your physician requests, the more “*” you’ll get – though not being ill. ;-)

❝ Here I have another one:

❝ round(c(1.2500499999999999, 1.250049999999999999), 4)

❝ [1] 1.2500 1.2501

You are a nasty person.

❝ More trouble spots can be found in "The R inferno".

❝ Should be a must-read for all R-users.

Wow!
