Dear Helmut,

❝ Bonus question: Is interim power acceptable for “type 1” TSDs?


If not, use power.2stage.fC() with arguments (powerstep = FALSE, method="B", fClower=0, ...) and simsalabim interim power has vanished :cool:!

Note: The results are totally equal to powerstep = TRUE since this step is now substitutionally done (implicitly) by the sample size estimation step.

BTW: This n2=2 at minimum is totally incomprehensible to me. One of the arguments was if not used alpha will be inflated. Seems you have shown that the opposite is true.

Regards,

Detlew
