Hi ElMaestro!

❝ When we calculate type I errors and power in Potvin's scenarios we assume a T/R. This is a 'known', in contrast to the estimates we get from the sampled data.

Not quite. You are mixing two things up, IMHO. T/R is an assumption – not “known”. Hard-core statisticians told me that (even for a fixed design) we never should use term “sample size calculation”, but “sample size estimation” instead because T/R is assumed and CV an estimate at the best (or also only an assumption).

❝ When we calculate the sample size for the second stage we apply a known (=assumed) T/R and a measured variability,

Known ≠ assumed. We never know.

❝ but the measured variability reflects the sampled T/R.

Why? Variance is independent from a shift in location.

Too stupid for the rest of your post.
