Dear Detlew!

❝ ❝ […] If one follows Method B, IMHO a posteriori simulations are not necessary if the study was planned with a n₁ corresponding to max. α_emp.. That would mean that we are already on ‘top of the ridge’.

❝

❝ Beeing on the ‘top of the ridge’ would mean IMHO that we are practically working with alpha_1,2 = 0.0294.

Exactly. That’s what I mean by “if the study was planned with a n₁ corresponding to max. α_emp.” above.

❝ Another rather clear message of this nice picture: Don't use n1 as low as 12 ('internal pilot' in the usual understanding of many sponsors) if the anticipated CV is >25%.

Yep. I was always preaching (though in the context of ‘classical’ pilot studies) against too small sample sizes if the anticipated CV is large.
