Dear R Help list,

My question is how sample size is specified in 2-way ANOVA power calculation in 
the pwr2 package.

In the function pwr2::pwr.2way documentation it gives an example use (source 
https://rdrr.io/cran/pwr2/man/pwr.2way.html) :
```
## Example 1
pwr.2way(a=3, b=3, alpha=0.05, size.A=4, size.B=5, f.A=0.8, f.B=0.4)
```

I have trouble understanding what the total sample size is in this case. The 
documentation says `a` refers to the number of groups in Factor A, and `size.A` 
is the sample size per group in Factor A. Similarly for Factor B.

Based on that, I inferred that Factor A is supposed to have 3 groups with 4 
individuals per group, meaning a total of 12 individuals in the experiment as a 
whole. However, in Factor B there are 3 groups with 5 individuals per group, 
which would lead to a total of 15 individuals. So my conclusions are 
contradictory: are there 12 or 15 individuals in this experimental design? Or 
yet a different number?

Any help appreciated.

Best wishes
Floris
