Sample size determination for logistic regression
The problem of sample size estimation is important in medical applications, especially in cases of expensive measurements of immune biomarkers. This paper describes the problem of logistic regression analysis with the sample size determination algorithms, namely the methods of univariate statistics, logistics regression, cross-validation and Bayesian inference. The authors, treating the regr...
متن کاملBayesian sample size determination under hypothesis tests.
We develop a Bayesian approach for calculating sample sizes for clinical trials under the framework of hypothesis tests. We extend the work of Weiss (The Statistician 1997; 46: 185-191) to include composite distributions for the treatment effect and the variance of the data within the null and alternative hypotheses. We select sample sizes using the Bayes factor and the averaged type I error an...
متن کاملComparing two Formulas of Sample Size Determination for Prevalence Studies
Background and purpose: Sample size and its determination is one of the most important problems in health researches. Calculating sample size for prevalence studies is one of the common questions of sample size topics. Minimum sample size with least complexity is desirable in order to achieve the basic goal of these studies. This study aims to compare two formulas of sample size calculation for...
متن کاملErratum: sample size determination for the false discovery rate
We have made corrections to the routines that were provided to implement Pounds and Cheng (2005) method to determine the sample size for a microarray experiment that uses the false discovery rate as the ultimate measure of statistical significance. Some routines in the original R and S-plus libraries did not properly account for differences between the definition of the noncentrality parameter ...
متن کاملSample size determination for the false discovery rate
MOTIVATION There is not a widely applicable method to determine the sample size for experiments basing statistical significance on the false discovery rate (FDR). RESULTS We propose and develop the anticipated FDR (aFDR) as a conceptual tool for determining sample size. We derive mathematical expressions for the aFDR and anticipated average statistical power. These expressions are used to dev...
