Simplification or simulation: some unclear issues in sample size calculation
In the clinical trial designing stage, trial statisticians need to provide a reference sample size for conducting the trial. In general, this task could be completed by forming the main research question into a statistical procedure and then implementing the published formulae or software, such as n-query and STATA, to make the calculation. When more complex statistical procedures are involved ...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation of RNA-sequencing Experiment-A Simulation-Based Approach of TCGA Data
Power and sample size calculation is an essential component of experimental design in biomedical research. For RNA-sequencing experiments, sample size calculations have been proposed based on mathematical models such as Poisson and negative binomial; however, RNA-seq data has exhibited variations, i.e. over-dispersion, that has caused past calculation methods to be underor over-power. Because o...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation for Comparing Means
Sample size calculation plays an important role in clinical research. In clinical research, a sufficient number of patients is necessary to ensure the validity and the success of an intended trial. From a statistical point of view, if a clinically meaningful difference between a study treatment and a control truly exists, such a difference can always be detected with an arbitrary power as long ...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation for Comparing Proportions
In clinical research, in addition to continuous responses, primary clinical endpoints for assessment of efficacy and safety of a drug product under investigation could be binary responses. For example, in cancer trials, patients’ clinical reaction to the treatment is often classified as response (e.g., complete response or partial response) or nonresponse. Based on these binary responses, the p...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation for Comparing Variabilities
In practice, the variabilities of responses involved in clinical research can be roughly divided into three categories. They are, namely, intra-subject, inter-subject, and total variabilities (1). More specifically, the intrasubject variability is the variability observed by repeated measurements on the same subject under exactly the same experiment conditions. This type of variability is very ...
