Dear John,

❝ But what if I end up losing all my subjects from 1 of the 6 sequence? I know it's highly unlikely...


Nothing serious happens even in that highly unlikely case :cool:.

The study stays evaluable.

The only thing you loose is that the design is no longer a design with minimum variance. I.e. the confidence intervals a somewhat broader compared to a balanced design with the same number of subjects (if this exists).

Just to cite our Ol' pirate and captain ElMaestro :pirate::
"Imbalance, as I see it, no doubt plays a role - sometimes even an obscure one ..."

Regards,

Detlew
