validate_sample_size_limits

Validates that the upper and lower limits are numeric and that the upper limit is greater than the lower limit.

Sample size estimation for bio-equivalence trials is supported through a simulation-based approach
that extends the Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) procedure. The methodology provides flexibility in
hypothesis testing, accommodates multiple treatment comparisons, and accounts for correlated endpoints.
Users can model complex trial scenarios, including parallel and crossover designs, intra-subject variability,
and different equivalence margins. Monte Carlo simulations enable accurate estimation of power and type I error
rates, ensuring well-calibrated study designs. The statistical framework builds on established methods for
equivalence testing and multiple hypothesis testing in bio-equivalence studies, as described in Schuirmann (1987)
<doi:10.1007/BF01068419>, Mielke et al. (2018) <doi:10.1080/19466315.2017.1371071>, Shieh (2022)
<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0269128>, and Sozu et al. (2015) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-22005-5>.
Comprehensive documentation and vignettes guide users through implementation and interpretation of results.
