Sample size and power calculations using the noncentral t-distribution
Abstract. The standard formulas for sample size and power calculation, as implemented in the command sampsi, make use of a normal approximation to the t-distribution. When the sample sizes are small, this approximation is poor, resulting in overestimating power (or underestimating sample size). One particular situation in which this is likely to be important is the field of cluster randomized t...
متن کاملSample Size and Power Calculations for Additive Interactions.
Interactions measured on the additive scale are more relevant than multiplicative interaction for assessing public health importance and also more closely related to notions of mechanistic synergism. Most work on sample size and power calculations for interaction have focused on the multiplicative scale. Here we derive analytic expressions for sample size and power calculations for interactions...

متن کاملPower and sample size calculations for studies involving linear regression.
This article presents methods for sample size and power calculations for studies involving linear regression. These approaches are applicable to clinical trials designed to detect a regression slope of a given magnitude or to studies that test whether the slopes or intercepts of two independent regression lines differ by a given amount. The investigator may either specify the values of the inde...
متن کاملSample size and power calculations with correlated binary data.
Correlated binary data are common in biomedical studies. Such data can be analyzed using Liang and Zeger's generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach. An attractive point of the GEE approach is that one can use a misspecified working correlation matrix, such as the working independence model (i.e., the identity matrix), and draw (asymptotically) valid statistical inference by using the so-...
