Hi Eelco

it depends on how you setup your GLM. Are you trying to regress out the effects of obesity in some way? If you give us more details I expect someone else can answer your question (Doug!)

cheers

Thanks for the quick reply!
So if I understand correctly, the power of say the controls vs. diabetes
(indeed it is type 2 diabetes) comparison is constrained by the sample size
of the obese group?

      Hi Eelco

      it isn't really a question of whether our implementation is
      senstitive to
      this. It's that in general your power will be constrained by the
      size of
      the smaller group (I assume this is Type 2 diabetes by the way).

      cheers
      Bruce
