Minimum Sample Sizes with Rare Events in Stratified Designs
There are many statistical issues in using stratified sampling for rare events. They include designing to ensure enough of the rare events are found in each stratum, achieving adequate accuracy of the estimates and their variance, and meeting the normality assumptions for confidence interval construction. When sampling to estimate sales and use tax, a large population is sampled to find a rare ...
متن کاملPowerUp!: A tool for calculating Minimum detectable effect sizes and minimum required sample sizes for experimental and quasi-experimental designs
This paper complements existing power analysis tools by offering tools to compute minimum detectable effect sizes (MDES) for existing studies and to estimate minimum required sample sizes (MRSS) for studies under design. The tools that accompany this paper support estimates of MDES or MSSR for 21 different study designs that include 14 random assignment designs (6 designs in which individuals a...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for Two Nested Pharmacokinetic Models with Correlated Observations
Two nested pharmacokinetic models are considered in this work. Several observations are taken on the same subject so they are correlated. The covariance function assumed is an exponential covariance function. Optimal exact designs are computed with different criteria, both for discriminating between models and estimating parameters. Compound criteria to estimate the parameters and nonlinear fun...
متن کاملOptimal Designs for Mixed-Effects Models with Random Nested Factors
The problem of experimental design for the purpose of estimating the fixed effects and the variance components corresponding to random nested factors is a widely applicable problem in industry. Random nested factors arise from quantity designations such as lot or batch and from sampling and measurement procedures. We introduce a new class of designs, called assembled designs, where all the nest...
متن کاملNested Designs
1. Nested Block Designs Heterogeneity in the experimental material is the most important problem to be reckoned within the statistical design of scientific experiments. If it is not suitably taken care of, in designing of an experiment, is likely to over shadow the real treatment differences making them remain undetected, unless they are large enough. Occasionally, one can find a certain factor...
