Dear AB,

if your point estimator is ok (i.e. in the range 0.95 ... 1.0526) a sample size estimation with your ISCV and a full replicate design (2-sequence-4-period) gives (using R with package PowerTOST)

library(PowerTOST)

sampleN.TOST(CV=0.47, design="2x2x4")



+++++++++++ Equivalence test - TOST +++++++++++

            Sample size estimation

-----------------------------------------------

Study design:  2x2x4 replicate crossover 

log-transformed data (multiplicative model)



alpha = 0.05, target power = 0.8

BE margins        = 0.8 ... 1.25 

Null (true) ratio = 0.95,  CV = 0.47



Sample size (total)

 n     power

44   0.806110

Thus the chance with a feasible sample size is greater then anticipated by my previous speaker above :cool:

.

But the question remains: Why do you resist in using the 80-125% acceptance range also the EMA allows you a widening :confused:

. Or is your ISCV from AUC?
