PowerTOST and Sample size estimation for R-SABE [RSABE / ABEL]
Dear Astea,
I completely agree with the Detlew's post above.
Let me explain some additional issues.
Absolutely!
Please compare the results:
and
That's not so easy...
When you performed first study with replicate design in Russia, the Sponsor wasn't sure - is it possible to wide the limits or not. Even after "the carving in red book"...
AFAIK now we can use all advantages of replicate designs in our studies, experts already approved some protocols with scABEL.
From then onward no full replicate studies with 60 subjects for sartans
The most illustrative graph you can find in the Helmut's lecture (slide 98)

❝ As far as I know SampleN.scABEL simulates studies to get the target power so it would be erroneously just to calculate sample size using SampleN.TOST and scale thetha1 and theta2, wouldn't it?
Absolutely!
Please compare the results:
sampleN.scABEL(theta0=0.90, CV=0.5, targetpower=0.8, design="2x2x4")
and
sampleN.TOST(alpha=0.05, targetpower=0.8, theta0=0.9, theta1=0.6984, theta2=1.4319, CV=0.50, design="2x2x4")
❝ It doesn't fit in my head because there exist replicate studies completed with more than 50 subjects... It turns that it was redundantly?
