Sixteen S-squared over D-squared: a relation for crude sample size estimates.
نویسنده
چکیده
I suggest for memorization an equation for calculating approximate sample size requirements intended only for a specific set of values (80 per cent power for a two-tailed alpha = 0.05 test) which seems to occur often in biopharmaceutical research. After presenting the formula in terms of variance estimate s2 and effect size d, I derive a few alternative forms and then discuss the accuracy of the approximation and other properties as well as examples of its use.

Prediction from randomly right censored data
Let X be a random vector taking values in IR d , let Y be a bounded random variable, and let C be a right censoring random variable operating on Y. It is assumed that C is independent of (X; Y), the distribution function of C is continuous and the support of the distribution of Y is a proper subset of the support of the distribution of C. Given a sample fX i ; minfY i ; C i g; I Y i C i ] g and...
متن کاملThe Estimation of Five - Parameter Mixed Normal Distributions by 1
SUMMARY Fisher's method of maximum likelihood breaks down when applied to the problem of estimating the five parameters of a mixture of two normal densities from a continuous random sample of size n. The two alternatives considered here are moment estimates on the one hand, and multinomial maximum likelihood and minimum x 2 estimates obtained by grouping the underlying variable on the other. Th...
متن کاملInvestigating bias in squared regression structure coefficients
The importance of structure coefficients and analogs of regression weights for analysis within the general linear model (GLM) has been well-documented. The purpose of this study was to investigate bias in squared structure coefficients in the context of multiple regression and to determine if a formula that had been shown to correct for bias in squared Pearson correlation coefficients and coeff...
متن کاملOptimal survey design for community intervention evaluations: cohort or cross-sectional?
Community intervention evaluations that measure changes over time may conduct repeated cross-sectional surveys, follow a cohort of residents over time, or (often) use both designs. Each survey design has implications for precision and cost. To explore these issues, we assume that two waves of surveys are conducted, and that the goal is to estimate change in behavior for people who reside in the...
متن کاملCross-Validation Estimates IMSE
Integrated Mean Squared Error (IMSE) is a version of the usual mean squared error criterion, averaged over all possible training sets of a given size. If it could be observed, it could be used to determine optimal network complexity or optimal data subsets for efficient training. We show that two common methods of cross-validating average squared error deliver unbiased estimates of IMSE, conver...
