Nonparametric Sample Size Estimation for Sensitivity and Specificity with Multiple Observations per Subject.
We propose a sample size calculation approach for the estimation of sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests with multiple observations per subjects. Many diagnostic tests such as diagnostic imaging or periodontal tests are characterized by the presence of multiple observations for each subject. The number of observations frequently varies among subjects in diagnostic imaging experiments...
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 کاملTests for One-Sample Sensitivity and Specificity
The power analysis of a diagnostic test is often based on the sensitivity and specificity of the test. In such a test, the outcome of the diagnostic screening test is compared to the gold standard. In the common case-control study, the gold standard must be known before. In a prospective study, the gold standard is determined subsequent to the study, so the case-control framework is not appropr...
متن کاملData Volume and Power of Multiple Tests with Small Sample Size per Null
ABSTRACT In multiple hypothesis testing, the volume of data, defined as the number of replications per null times the total number of nulls, usually defines the amount of resource required. On the other hand, power is an important measure of performance for multiple testing. Due to practical constraints, the number of replications per null may not be large enough in terms of the difference betw...
متن کاملNonparametric HAC Estimation for Time Series Data With Missing Observations
The Newey and West (1987) estimator has become the standard way to estimate a heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance matrix, but it does not immediately apply to time series with missing observations. We demonstrate that the intuitive approach to estimate the true spectrum of the underlying process using only the observed data leads to incorrect inference. Instead, w...
