nup = int(nLOD) + 1, mup=int(Bc+snup); ndown = int(nLOD), mdown=int(Bc+sndown); int=an integer part of a number; (1 − β)up and Bup, (1 − β)down and Bdown are actual power and needed budget based on (nup, mup) and (ndown, mdown), respectively; Bold refers to the proposed optimal sample size and number of repeated measures with larger power between (nup, mup) and (ndown, mdown); NA = Not Applicable.
