Sample sizes for usability studies: additional considerations.
Recently, Virzi (1992) presented data that support three claims regarding sample sizes for usability studies: (1) observing four or five participants will allow a usability practitioner to discover 80% of a product's usability problems, (2) observing additional participants will reveal fewer and fewer new usability problems, and (3) more severe usability problems are easier to detect with the f...
متن کاملTesting and interval estimation for two-sample survival comparisons with small sample sizes and unequal censoring.
While the commonly used log-rank test for survival times between 2 groups enjoys many desirable properties, sometimes the log-rank test and its related linear rank tests perform poorly when sample sizes are small. Similar concerns apply to interval estimates for treatment differences in this setting, though their properties are less well known. Standard permutation tests are one option, but the...

متن کاملSample sizes for self-controlled case series studies.
We derive several formulae for the sample size required for a study designed using the self-controlled case series method without age effects. We investigate these formulae by simulation, and identify one based on the signed root likelihood ratio statistic which performs well. We extend this method to allow for age effects, which can have a big impact on the sample size needed. This more genera...
متن کاملDealing with Varying Detection Probability, Unequal Sample Sizes and Clumped Distributions in Count Data
Temporal variation in the detectability of a species can bias estimates of relative abundance if not handled correctly. For example, when effort varies in space and/or time it becomes necessary to take variation in detectability into account when data are analyzed. We demonstrate the importance of incorporating seasonality into the analysis of data with unequal sample sizes due to lost traps at...
