Hi Yvonne and dlabes,

❝ They argue that the same may take place if the target power is changed. Let me cite: "In particular, we have not considered cases where the desired power used in the method is anything other than 80%. Increasing the power used in the methods from 80 to 90% would be expected to have similar direction of effect as decreasing the GMR used in the methods from 0.95 to 0.90".


They are right. The alpha may go a little up.
Example: T/R=0.9 at CV=0.3 and N1=24 (method B). Alpha is around 0.0529 (Montague's paper) with target power 0.8 but with target power 0.9 alpha increases to 0.0543 (1 million sims).

Pass or fail!
