Hi kms.srinivas,


I know this post-hoc power business can be very tricky.

Try and ask yourself which question post-hoc power actually answers. Try and formulate it in a very specific sentence.

Generally, [given a statistical model] power is the chance of showing BE in a trial if your expectations about GMR, CV are correct when you use N subjects.
Choice of GMV, CV and N to plug in a power calculation is up to the user, but in the specific case of post-hoc power stats software may make such a choice for you without asking. Often it is 95% or 100% regardless of what you observed in the previous trial.

So with this in mind try and look back in your figures and tell which question the post-hoc calculation in your case gave an answer to. Feel free to paste your numbers here then I am sure someone can help working it out. You might get surprised.:-)

The rise of biometry in this 20th century,
like that of geometry in the 3rd century before Christ,
seems to mark out one of the great ages or critical periods
in the advance of the human understanding.    R.A. Fisher
