Hi ElMaestro,

❝ […] imbalance per se is not causing inflation of alpha in simple crossovers.

Do you know that or do you assume it?

❝ The phenomenon has not been studied or published for 2-stage designs, though.

Yep. Mdme Potvin:

“[…] each stage was assumed to be balanced with respect to sequence.”

Since I want to avoid troubles with regulators

“The imbalanced case is outside the validated framework. The applicant should justify that the consumers’s risk is preserved in the actual study.”

I recommend my clients to randomize the second stage in such a way that imbalance in the first stage is counteracted (e.g., stage 1 TR|RT 10|12, n_total 32, stage 2 TR|RT 6|4).

❝ Did you mean to say something else?

I was just interested in common 2,2,2 cross-overs.
