Dear Byung-Ju,

❝ And this other I suggest to my opinion

❝ ...


A man having his own opinion is always preferable :cool:.
But as John Moore said: "Your opinion is your opinion, your perception is your perception - do not confuse them them with 'facts' or 'truth' ... " (the rest of this quote may be somewhat bothering).

You are totally right if the point estimator and the CV you have used in your sample size estimation (taken from a particular study - why that and not the PAR studies?) are the true values, are "carved in stone" - Helmut's favourite terminology.

Have a look at this thread for another strong opinion :-D and go through the category "Sample Size" of this forum - discussions of sample size in connection with pilot study.
Eventually are some thoughts mentioned there worth considering them.

Regards,

Detlew

Scientists often have a naïve faith that
if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
