متن کاملPractical Issues in Calculating the Sample Size for Prevalence Studies
The sample size calculation for a prevalence only needs a simple formula. However, there are a number of practical issues in selecting values for the parameters required in the formula. Several practical issues are addressed and appropriate recommendations are given. The paper also suggests the application of a software calculator that checks the normal approximation assumption and incorporates...
متن کاملSample Size Considerations for Multilevel Surveys
Social and economic data commonly have a nested structure (for example, households nested within neighborhoods). Recently techniques and computer programs have become available for dealing with such data, permitting the formulation of explicit multilevel models with hypotheses about e¤ects occurring at each level and across levels. If data users are planning to analyze survey data using hierarc...
