Hi d_labes,

❝ Really?

❝ I would suggest:

❝ If you consider 95, 90 and 110 as the arithmetic means on the untransformed scale use log(x)-sd2/2 as the mean of the logs.

❝ If your numbers 0.15, 0.10 and 0.15 are the CV's user sd = sqrt(log(CV*CV+1)) as sd of the logs.


I think Martin raised this before. I don't understand this aspect. Feel free to educate me, you great scientist!

❝ The manner you have written the simulation for the three treatments suggest you consider the log(metric) for the 3 treatments as independent.

❝ Is this really the case for a cross-over where the 3 treatment were applied to each subject :ponder:? IMHO we have to consider some correlation between them.


Probably a good point. But let's take the simple 2,2,2-BE scenario as example. Treatmeant T and R is probably correlated within patients; but we still only work with a covariance matrix with a single sigma squared on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere. I don't know how to take any such correlation into effect, but if you wish to do it a way forward might be a mixed model.

As you can see above the original code was something I wrote 20 months ago, and I am today questioning my sanity back then. Actually I am still bonkers, but I guess that's another matter :pirate:.

EM.
