Considerations when calculating the sample size for an inequality test
Click here for Korean Translation. Calculating the sample size is a vital step during the planning of a study in order to ensure the desired power for detecting clinically meaningful differences. However, estimating the sample size is not always straightforward. A number of key components should be considered to calculate a suitable sample size. In this paper, general considerations for conduct...
متن کاملCalculating Sample Size in Anthropometry
V.R. Preedy (ed.), Handbook of Anthropometry: Physical Measures of Human Form in Health and Disease, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4419-1788-1_1, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Abstract Sample size estimation is a fundamental step when designing clinical trials and epidemiological studies for which the primary objective is the estimation or the comparison of parameters. One may be interested i...
متن کاملAn efficient computational procedure for random vibro-acoustic simulations
We discuss a new method for handling random acoustic excitations. The idea is to approximate the cross power spectral density matrix of the response by a low rank matrix. We illustrate the low rank approximation can be computed efficiently by the implicitly restarted block Lanczos method. We give a theoretical explanation.
متن کاملCalculating Sample Size Estimates for RNA Sequencing Data
BACKGROUND Given the high technical reproducibility and orders of magnitude greater resolution than microarrays, next-generation sequencing of mRNA (RNA-Seq) is quickly becoming the de facto standard for measuring levels of gene expression in biological experiments. Two important questions must be taken into consideration when designing a particular experiment, namely, 1) how deep does one need...
متن کاملPractical Issues in Calculating the Sample Size for Prevalence Studies
The sample size calculation for a prevalence only needs a simple formula. However, there are a number of practical issues in selecting values for the parameters required in the formula. Several practical issues are addressed and appropriate recommendations are given. The paper also suggests the application of a software calculator that checks the normal approximation assumption and incorporates...
