We are interested in the effects of soy additives to diets


We are interested in the effects of soy additives to diets on the blood concentration of estradiol in premenopausal women. We have historical data on six subjects, each of whose estradiol concentration was measured at the same stage of the menstrual cycle over two consecutive cycles. On the log scale, the error variance is about .109. In our experiment, we will have a pretreatment measurement, followed by a treatment, followed by a posttreatment measurement. Our response is the difference (post - pre), so the variance of our response should be about .218. Half the women will receive the soy treatment, and the other half will receive a control treatment. How large should the sample size be if we want power .9 when testing at the .05 level for the alternative that the soy treatment raises the estradiol concentration 25% (about .22 log units)?
