Hello Yvonne,

❝ My question is, if we go into the second stage and we have to do a sample size calculation, can we use a power of 90% (instead of 80%)? And of course more importantly :-D , would a sample size calculation based on 90% power be accepted by the authorities?

Yes, this will be acceptable to many authorities.

❝ In theory the power is the companies risk and not the consumers risk and thus no extra inflation of alpha would occur in a two stage design (because of a different use of power) or am I wrong here :confused: .

You probably need to prove that the overall alpha is preserved under or at 0.05. A simulation study is recommended for this purpose.
