  1. a. Empirical estimates of FDR q, average sensitivity λ, and probability ϕλ 0of the univariate method for the average formulation and of the binomial method for the 95% probability formulation. The parameters used in the calculation were: m = 2,000, δ0 = 2, and q* = 0.05.
  2. b. Sample size n is computed by the univariate method from Equation (1) to achieve sensitivity λ0 on average.
  3. c. Sample size n is calculated using Tsai et al. [7] method to ensure sensitivity λ0 with 95% probability.
  4. d. Sample size n (standard deviation) is calculated using the proposed permutation method to ensure sensitivity λ0 with 95% probability with pilot study of group size 4 under the independent model.
