Dear Detlew,

❝ ❝ ❝ … thus we can't empirical test it via simulations.

❝ ❝ Not sure what you mean here.

❝

❝ I meant that simulations with θ_L ≤ 90% CI ≤ θ_U do not give substantial different results compared to θ_L < 90% CI < θ_U. Thus we can't choose that alternative which is closer to the analytical power calculation results…

Ah, now I understand! Theoretically (!) it would be possible if one goes with the R-package Rmpfr allowing for high numeric precision or Maxima and run a zillion of sim’s. Would need a supercomputer in the backyard.

❝ … (of course via PowerTOST ).

What else?
In my future sim’s of alpha (rounded CI) I will go for a ratio 0.80 instead of 1.25 since all three algos we have discussed give the same results there. Nevertheless, more studies than the 5% expected will pass making a significant result difficult to interpret.
