RegisterDoes unequal alpha distribution make sense? [Two-Stage / GS Designs]
Dear all
There are some People who recommend to use a very small alpha in the first stage and a large alpha in the next.
Stage I: 0.001 leading to 99.8% CI
Stage II: 0.049 leading to 90.2% CI
Chance of approval in the first go is low, but you will have a comfortable CI in the second stage. However, as I learned from our famous captain, it is almost impossible to argue that it makes a practical difference. Do you agree or disagree? What is your experience?
Looking forward to your valuable input
Kind regards
