Dear all,

I looked at the presentation slides about sample size calculations from HS, see here. There's a formula for the inter CV (slide #8) and I do not quite understand why the exponent from the exponential is the difference of MSEB and MSEW divided by 2 (and not just MSEB). Would be great if someone could give me some more details on that.
Also I read that one only gets the total variance out from a parallel study. The reason for that is what? Is it just the fact that the intra subject variability always exists, but cannot be measured by this kind of design?

Thank you in advance for clarification.

Best regards,
Benjamin
