Hi Rocco,

» So basically your analysis follows from the fact that the variance of the difference of T and R equal the sum of the variance of T and the variance of R, correct?

Well, you have four variance components (s²_wR, s²_wT, s²_bT, s²_bR). Then

1. Full replicate designs
   All are identifiable.
   
2. 2×2×2 crossover (balanced and complete for simplicity – otherwise, weighting is required)
   s²w = (s²_wR + s²_wT)/2 and s²_b = (s²_bT + s²_bR)/2.
   
3. 2 group parallel
   Only the pooled (total) s²_p. With a tricky mixed-effects model you could get s²_pT and s²_pR.
   
4. One treatment (FIM)
   Only s²_p.

Hence, if you want to plan #3 based on #4 you have to assume that the variances (within, between) of T and R are at least similar.

» And you are using the geometric CV as the estimate of CVp for R?

Yes.
