two-phase sample size estimation with pre-assigned variance under normality assumption
we develop a two phase sampling procedure to determine the sample size necessary to estimatethe population mean of a normally distributed random variable and show that the resulting estimator has preassigned variance and is unbiased under a regular condition. we present a necessary and sufficient condition under which the final sample mean is an unbiased estimator for the population mean.
متن کاملComparing two Formulas of Sample Size Determination for Prevalence Studies
Background and purpose: Sample size and its determination is one of the most important problems in health researches. Calculating sample size for prevalence studies is one of the common questions of sample size topics. Minimum sample size with least complexity is desirable in order to achieve the basic goal of these studies. This study aims to compare two formulas of sample size calculation for...
متن کاملSample size estimation in epidemiologic studies
This review basically provided a conceptual framework for sample size calculation in epidemiologic studies with various designs and outcomes. The formula requirement of sample size was drawn based on statistical principles for both descriptive and comparative studies. The required sample size was estimated and presented graphically with different effect sizes and power of statistical test at 95...
متن کاملRunning head: VIOLATING THE ASSUMPTION OF INDEPENDECE 95 Million t tests: The Empirical Findings when the Assumption of Independence has Been Violated in the Two-Sample t Test
A Monte Carlo computer simulation was used to evaluate the effect on the Type I error rate when the assumption of independence was not met in the two-sample t test. It was shown that when there is a positive correlation within groups the nominal alpha level is considerably smaller than the probability of the Type I error rate. This study used five values of ! and 19 different "’s, computing 1,0...
