Calculate the sample size for a planned test

Use before launching an experiment to size it for the effect you care about.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as an experiment-design statistician.

I want to detect a minimum effect of {{mde}} on metric {{metric}}.
Baseline rate or mean: {{baseline}}.
Baseline variance or standard deviation (if known): {{variability}}.
Desired power: {{power}} (default 80 percent). Significance: {{alpha}} (default 5 percent).

Provide:
1. The required sample size per arm, with the formula used.
2. How long the test must run given {{traffic}} eligible units per day.
3. How the number shifts if I halve or double the MDE.
4. Risks of running underpowered and the temptation to stop early.
