Dear Astea

❝ Does exact Owen's method in general do the same?


Don't understand your question here.

Owen's Q functions are a way of calculating the power exact. For the sample size 'brute force' as described above is nevertheless necessary since no exact closed form result for the sample size itself is known.
And this brute force can be shortened in using a reasonable start value. PowerTOST uses some sort of Zhang's formula to that end, regardless of the power calculation method used, "exact", "nct" or "shifted".

if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
