Sample Size Requirements for Discrete-Choice Experiments in Healthcare: a Practical Guide
Discrete-choice experiments (DCEs) have become a commonly used instrument in health economics and patient-preference analysis, addressing a wide range of policy questions. An important question when setting up a DCE is the size of the sample needed to answer the research question of interest. Although theory exists as to the calculation of sample size requirements for stated choice data, it doe...
متن کاملSample Size Choice for Microarray Experiments
We review Bayesian sample size arguments for microarray experiments, focusing on a decision theoretic approach. We start by introducing a choice based on minimizing expected loss as theoretical ideal. Practical limitations of this approach quickly lead us to consider a compromise solution that combines this idealized solution with a sensitivity argument. The finally proposed approach relies on ...
متن کاملConducting discrete choice experiments to inform healthcare decision making: a user's guide.
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are regularly used in health economics to elicit preferences for healthcare products and programmes. There is growing recognition that DCEs can provide more than information on preferences and, in particular, they have the potential to contribute more directly to outcome measurement for use in economic evaluation. Almost uniquely, DCEs could potentially contri...
متن کاملRanking in discrete choice experiments
A common problem in ethology is ranking of animal preferences for several discrete stimuli or options. We considered experiments where animals chose one of all possible simultaneously presented options. The animals might be observed at repeated occasions. In the ethological literature the analysis is often focused on testing the global hypotheses of no difference in preferences by non-parametri...
متن کاملSample Space : Practical Experiments for Teaching Sampling
A traditional view of statistics is that it is numerical detective work. An important part of this detective work is the collection of the data which will form the basis of inferences and action. Selecting a sample is a key activity in statistics. If the data collected are defective in some way for instance, because of bias then the inferences and actions based on them can be seriously flawed. ...
