Dear Astea, dear Helmut,

❝ ❝ I suspect TIE will be also inflated in studies of NTDs also (by using FDA approach or by using different confidence limits for two metrics).


❝ Might well be.


There is no reason to speculate. Fire up the all-in-one device suitable for every purpose PowerTOST :cool:
and use function power.NTIDFDA().

Try this (for the homoscedastic case swR=swT):
library(PowerTOST)
# number of subjects
n <- 12
design <- "2x2x4"
# theta is the reguatory constant for widening/shrinking the acceptance limits
# (see Warfarin guidance, but note: the theta there is theta^2)

theta <- -(log(0.9)/0.1)
# function to obtain the upper limit of the implied acceptance range
UL <- function(CV, theta){
  upper <- exp(theta* CV2se(CV))
  if (upper>1.25) upper <- 1.25
  upper
}

CVs <- seq(0.03, 0.4, by=0.01)
# reserve memory
GMR <- vector("numeric", length= length(CVs))
TIE <- vector("numeric", length= length(CVs))
ns  <- vector("numeric", length= length(CVs))

for (i in seq_along(CVs)){
  GMR[i] <- UL(CVs[i], theta)
  ns[i]  <- n
  # instead of a constant n we may use n obtained via sampleN.NTIDFDA()
  # then uncomment next line
  # ns[i]  <- sampleN.NTIDFDA(CV=CVs[i], print=FALSE, details=FALSE)[["Sample size"]]
  TIE[i] <- power.NTIDFDA(CV=CVs[i], theta0 = GMR[i], n=n, design=design, nsims=1E6)
}
print(data.frame(CV=CVs, GMR=GMR, n=ns, TIE=TIE), row.names=FALSE)


With n=12 we get:
   CV      GMR      TIE
 0.03 1.032106 0.049529
 0.04 1.043027 0.049529

But if we use n obtained to have a targetpower of 0.8, using theta0=0.975 we get:

 0.29 18 1.250000 0.046739
 0.30 20 1.250000 0.048178

Indeed a small alpha-inflation at low CVs'.
If we were Potvin-adepts this is a negligible alpha inflation, namely below 0.052.
