Given a fixed researcher effort (e.g., total number of assays able to be run), this function plots the optimum k
measurements per individual to use in order to obtain the smallest confidence interval at an expected intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) estimate. The results are depicted graphically, showing the tradeoff in confidence interval width with changing k
.

When est.type="pilot"
, the function automatically generates an effort 10 percent larger and smaller than the calculated effort from the pilot data.
