Id - Thx. Just can't believe that the results will not blow away the 95% level!!

Hi iddrisw and thank you for your posts predicting statistics.

I wanted to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind:

1) I take that you are using Montecarlo simulations to generate the random samples, correct? If so, what type of assumption, if any, do you need to make about the data distribution? (e.g., normal)
2) Are the parametric simulations based on the the assignation of the 0-12 scale? What p values are you obtaining with the average difference of 1 between treated and placebo arms? Did you check p values assuming larger differences like 1.5 or 2?
3j Are the non-parametric simulations solely based on rankings? What p values are you obtaining with the average difference of 1 between treated and placebo arms? Did you check p values assuming larger differences like 1.5 or 2?

Thank you and I truly appreciate that you are sharing this good work.
