Sample Size Estimation for Microarray Experiments Using the ssize package
نویسنده
چکیده
mRNA Expression Microarray technology is widely applied in biomedical and pharmaceutical research. The huge number of mRNA concentrations estimated for each sample make it difficult to apply traditional sample size calculation techniques and has left most practitioners to rely on rule-of-thumb techniques. In this paper, we briefly describe and then demonstrate a simple method for performing and visualizing sample size calculations for microarray experiments as implemented in the ssize R package.

Sample Size Estimation while Controlling False Discovery Rate for Microarray Experiments Using the ssize.fdr Package
Microarray experiments are becoming more and more popular and critical in many biological disciplines. As in any statistical experiment, appropriate experimental design is essential for reliable statistical inference, and sample size has a crucial role in experimental design. Because microarray experiments are rather costly, it is important to have an adequate sample size that will achieve a de...

This document shows the functionality of the R-package SSPA. The package performs power and sample size analysis using a method described by [1, 2]. Our implementation allows for fast and realistic estimates of power and sample size for microarray experiments, given pilot data. By means of two simple commands (pilotData(), sampleSize()), a researcher can read their data in and compute the desir...
متن کاملSample Size and Power Calculation in Microarray Studies Using the sizepower package
The process of obtaining biological samples is often expensive, involved, and time consuming. Thus, the issue of the appropriate sample size is important in planning a study. If the sample size is too large, we waste resources. If the sample size is too small, we cannot draw inferences with the desired precision. Thus, we need to calculate the sample size of a study before proceeding in order t...
