Dear Helmut!

First I'm very glad that I helped you to gnosis :-D.

❝ Potvin's simulations were done with 0.95; is it that simple to use e.g. 0.90 instead?


Here the simul'ants answer:
Datasets simulated with CV=32%, GMR=1.08

Results taken Potvin literally (i.e. GMR=0.95 in power calculations and sample size adaption):
               ntotal
  stage 1  -----------------
  n1 power mean 5%  med. 95% power alpha
  12 0.040 52.6 18 – 50 – 94 0.672 0.042
  24 0.275 47.2 24 – 48 – 80 0.711 0.048
  36 0.498 45.8 36 – 36 – 72 0.718 0.043
  44 0.597 48.8 44 – 44 – 68 0.718 0.037

Results with GMR=0.95 always replaced with 1.08:
               ntotal
  stage 1  -----------------
  n1 power mean 5%  med. 95%  power alpha
  12 0.040 70.4 24 – 66 – 128 0.778 0.042
  24 0.275 61.0 24 – 64 – 108 0.815 0.0514
  36 0.498 55.0 36 – 36 – 96  0.820 0.047
  44 0.597 55.4 44 – 44 – 92  0.808 0.041

Which would you take :cool:?

BTW: 100 000 simuls each. Total simul'ants time approx. 9.5 hours (with some clumsy R code).

Regards,

Detlew

Medical researches can be divided into two sorts:
those who think that meta is better and those
who believe that pooling is fooling.    Stephen Senn
